i found the location really convenient for getting around. public transport was super accessible, and i could easily walk to different attractions. the apartment included a full kitchen. i appreciated having a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker (i needed that coffee!). the gym had a treadmill, which i used every morning.

the bathroom could have been better stocked. i only found one roll of toilet paper, and i had to request more from the front desk. the lighting in the living room was dim. it was hard to read in the evenings. the hallway outside my room smelled strongly of smoke.

This place IS fantastic! The apartment was clean, beautifully appointed, and very convenient. The location made it easy to enjoy the city. I found the 7th-floor pool and chill and work spaces to be a godsend. I will definitely return (maybe even next year!).

I enjoyed the location VERY much. It allowed me to walk to many attractions. The front desk staff was quite friendly. I also appreciated the well-equipped workout room.

The mattress in my room was HORRIBLE. It definitely needs immediate replacement. There was also no soap provided for the shower. The air conditioning unit blew directly onto the bed, not ideal.

The location was good! It was easy to access and check in was simple. I appreciated the gym. It had an indoor pool and an outdoor hot tub, really nice.

The room itself had a slight scent of smoke. The shower had some mold in the caulking area and also between the grout in the tiles. The building seemed very busy.
