“The location is quite remarkable for the price, putting you right in the heart of things with easy reach to transport. While the shared bathroom and kitchen require a certain flexibility, the comfort of the bed and access to a balcony were pleasant surprises. It certainly feels like a lived-in space, offering a distinct value for those who prioritize location and a comfortable rest over pristine polish.”
