No Smoking

01
Choose a top-floor apartment or one not adjacent to the elevator to reduce noise from squeaky floors and heavy doors.
02
Plan to arrive after 14:00 check-in, but use the 24-hour reception to store luggage if arriving early or departing late.
03
Request extra bedding (duvets, pillows) at reception to improve sofa bed comfort, which is otherwise very firm.
04
Factor in longer waits for hot water in the shower, especially during early morning use.
