Each apartment is a private unit featuring a private bathroom with bath, shower, and bidet. Rooms include a seating area, air conditioning, heating, and free toiletries. The kitchenette includes a refrigerator, microwave, and electric kettle, but is not set up for full cooking - better suited for storing snacks and reheating prepared food. Room sizes are compact, particularly for four people, as the space may not comfortably accommodate opening two suitcases at once. Beds are moderately comfortable, with some rooms offering a balcony. Rooms are on upper floors (no elevator), which requires carrying luggage up narrow stairs. The accommodation is clean and functional, aligning with the property's budget price point.

The apartment's kitchenette is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and electric kettle, but lacks pots, pans, utensils, and dishes beyond a few glasses - suitable only for reheating shop-bought meals or making hot drinks.
