8.6Verified guest“Loved the lively atmosphere and convenience of being near bars, restaurants, and a grocery store. The lounge was great for relaxing and watching TV. Safety features like the fire extinguisher and first aid kit were reassuring. Only downside? The garden wasn't a botanical paradise.”

The common areas were well-maintained and provided a comfortable space to relax and socialize. As a senior woman, I appreciated the accessibility – despite being on the top floor, the stairs were manageable and not too steep.”
