“Affordable luxury” delivered as stated upon entering. The place was furnished beautifully, linens smelled great, and a soft comfortable bed. The area was wonderful with coffee, groceries, metro, and restaurants within a 10 min walk.
Penny allowed us to put drop off our suitcases early so the housekeeper can clean up. We returned hours later with groceries, the housekeeper said to come on in I’m finished, but were greeted by Penny with a “they’re here early” mouthed through the door’s window. Not the greatest reception, but she then came down a little later to say hi and that it was perfectly fine.
It got noisy before 6 am with foot traffic and hammering next door (renovations are being done, not their fault) and the “luxury” ended when asked to pile up all of the laundry (linens and towels) for the housekeeper and take out the garbage despite paying a cleaning fee.
Overall I would recommend it, but with reservation.
