Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests appreciate the spacious and well-presented rooms, many of which feature a fridge/freezer, which is a real plus. The shared kitchen is well-equipped, and the location is convenient for accessing the central train station, restaurants, and supermarkets; though some guests have noted minor issues such as dust in the rooms. The private off-road parking and the quiet neighborhood add to the appeal.
