Fantastic little apartment

The apartment itself is cozy, clean, with pretty much anything you'd need already provided. The only real downside is the parking spaces can be a bit tricky to get into, but so long as you're not driving a huge vehicle it's definitely manageable. It's also close to plenty of attractions and restaurants.
