Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site service staff — The high staff rating suggests a responsive team, but as an apartment, there's no daily housekeeping or front desk on site. Guests should expect a self-service stay.
  • Pets are not allowed — The property explicitly states 'No pets allowed', so guests traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited parking information — While parking is listed as an amenity, there are no details about availability, cost, or reservation requirements — typical for an apartment in a dense neighborhood.
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in is strictly between 14:00 and 23:59, with checkout at 11:00. Late-night arrivals may find the window restrictive.
