The studio apartment combines a bed, living area, and kitchen in one open space, with a separate bathroom. It is suitable for single/ solo travellers or couples for 1-2 nights. The unit is equipped with air conditioning, efficient heating, a washing machine, dryer, and a work desk. Compared to the strong location, the furnishings are dated - the bed has a thin spring mattress and an unbalanced frame, which can affect sleep quality. The bathroom is small, with a narrow shower and a wobbly shower head. Several electrical sockets have been reported as non-functional, including bedside sockets, which makes charging devices or using a bedside lamp difficult. The single window has a Velcro-attached curtain that can detach, letting in light. Book for short stays and as a walkable centre-of-town base rather than for comfort.

The apartment has a kitchen with a stove, utensils, basic cooking ingredients (coffee, sugar), and cleaning products. It is adequate for self-catering. The kitchen sink tap drips continuously, which can be audible at night. There is no breakfast, restaurant, or bar on the property. The surrounding streets offer a wide choice: more than eight dining spots (wine bars, bistros, pizzerias, and Italian restaurants) are all within a 3-minute walk, making it easy to find meals nearby.
