10/10 Excellent
"The property is a building of different configurations of “condo-like” rooms owned by a company, not separate owners. Although the rooms are very nice, be aware that the type you choose on the website might not be the exact one you get upon arrival, but it will have similar accommodations. The staff were very helpful and the room/furniture was clean. If you’re looking for a full kitchen with a separate bedroom that a hotel room doesn’t offer, try this."
