Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve a free parking space when booking, as on-site spots require advance reservation.

  • 02

    Arrive by bus from the city centre, with the nearest stop 500 metres away, to avoid navigating height-restricted parking (max 2.15 m).

  • 03

    Request the free NCP garage parking for longer stays, or use complimentary overnight and weekend street parking.

  • 04

    Plan for stairs: the duplex apartment is on the first floor with no lift, and both bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs.
