Reviews
!
We first booked two separate 2-bed rooms but were upgraded to a small apartment with two bedrooms instead.
The receptionist, Andreea, was very welcoming and friendly. Helped us with everything we needed quickly
I personally didn’t try the food from the kitchen so I can’t really comment on that.
The apartment we were in was a little bit too warm for me with no option to adjust the floor heating but I also personally have less tolerance for heat.
All in all, a great experience that I would definitely repeat.
