    The room is extremely spacious and well located. It is very clean and smells good. Every room is well stocked and the neighborhood is very convenient. We feel like home everyday coming back to the apartment. The kitchen is fully stocked and cook-ready. We love the two patios a lot too where we enjoyed our cup of coffee. The apartment is nicer than it is shown in the pictures.
