The place was well located and clean, and check-in was easy, noting that the key is available a few blocks from the place - so people with luggage should keep their taxi.
I did have the experience of walking into the place and saying "oh." Somehow it just seemed bigger, more stylish and more spacious in the pictures, even though you could tell a wide angle lens was used. There was nothing specifically wrong with it, but it just seemed like an apartment building made with budget in mind, with apartments just a bit smaller than you expect and that interior-brick budget feel. How bizarre that the lifts go to half-floors, so that if you're in a wheelchair or have heavy stuff you still have 2 flights of stairs to negotiate - I imagine the builder saved a few dollars there too!
As a budget place to stay it's pretty good. We thought it was a mid-range place and ended up getting another place for the last night, just cos we wanted something a bit more spacious and homely. I can't really fault it, but I feel I should have looked at the pics more closely.
