"The property is beautiful, clean and in a very quiet and convenient area. The housekeeper is a sweetheart and the staff is fantastic. I spent about 6 weeks there! There is a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, private rooms, dorm rooms, private and shared bathrooms, a garden area, a bar and a restaurant that opens in the evening. There is also a continental breakfast in the mornings between 6am-9am. The price to stay is reasonable for short or extended stays. I would highly recommend!"
