The apartment had such a warm and homely feel! The decor was unique and full of character, with beautiful lighting and little artistic touches everywhere. The place was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and the location was peaceful but still close enough to everything I needed. The staff were really friendly and made sure I had everything I needed.
