Invoice is provided upon request.

Some apartments face a busy street, so noise can be an issue day and night. Guests have reported that air conditioning in some rooms struggles to cool front-facing bedrooms. The property shows some wear - broken tiles, old mattresses, and occasional maintenance needs like slow drains or malfunctioning elevators. Kitchen supplies are basic (no salt, pepper, or coffee), and only minimal toilet paper is provided. For a quiet stay, request a rear-facing apartment or bring earplugs.
