It's nice, clean and comfortable. We did not experience the outdoor space because of construction to the building. The small kitchenette is a closet with a sink and a cook top. no counter for prep. It would be extremely difficult to cook for two never mind four. There are places near by that have good food, but the budget conscience will struggle to cook meals. The extra touches at the apartment are amazing, coffee snacks, etc. All in all a very nice little place. I would still recommend as a good place to call home for a few days.
