The room was clean, bed was comfortable and the kitchenette and had everything we needed to make breakfast, including two Nespresso pods for coffee. Lots of instant also available. Plush towels were lovely. The bathroom was very basic but clean. Internet was so slow as to be unusable during our stay. Don’t know if that was typical or not. Easy walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.
