charming balconydaily cleaninguseful microwave
the apartment featured a charming balcony where i loved to sit and enjoy the quiet mornings. daily cleaning kept the space ever so immaculate, a small act of kindness that i appreciated. my room also came with a fridge and microwave, both were very useful for keeping my treats chilled and warming midnight snacks.
the tv remote was a tad confusing to operate at first, but i figured it out eventually.

The room was very clean and well-equipped. I found a water jug waiting in the fridge. Self-service check-in was straightforward (Abi & Charlie provided clear instructions).
The cost seemed high compared to other accommodations I have booked previously.

The apartment provides all necessities for cooking, though I did not utilize these . A Sunday food market on the street outside offers many delicious options for dining. (The paella was fantastic!)
