"Great rooms with so much attention to details. Good water to refill your bottle, a kettle and a coffee machine with coffee and tea provide in every room. A fridge to keep fresh food. The shared bathroom is spotless. The beds are super comfy. Really good communication and tips from Rony. Excellent location. Don’t hesitate if you want to feel at home away from home!"
