The apartment and location served its purpose. Overall, though, we felt it was a bit more basic than expected and could benefit from a few small upgrades and additional touches to make it feel more comfortable and welcoming. We noticed that there was no hand soap in the bathroom, nor dish soap in the kitchen, for example. The kitchen could use a few more dishes and the walls are quite thin. With a few thoughtful improvements, we think this could be an even more enjoyable stay.

We were in town for a college campus tour for my daughter. Location was pretty central to everything we needed.

We stayed for four days and had a very good rest. The neighborhood is quiet, and the most convenient thing is that there is a private parking space, which is very convenient for tourists who drive!
