Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The apartment does not list parking in its policies, so guests arriving by car will need to arrange parking themselves, potentially at an extra cost.
  • Some guests found the apartment a bit dated — While clean and functional, a few reviews mention the apartment felt older, though everything was in working order.
  • No pets allowed — The apartment does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Street noise possible at night — Although one guest noted the area was quiet at night despite a busy street, others did not mention it — but the proximity to a main road could be a factor for light sleepers.
