the check in was a bit annoying as it's automatic/there is no reception desk and you're supposed to get an email the day of with directions for check in.... but the on site manager was extremely helpful and effectively checked me in. that being said, it was clean and quiet which was fantastic.

The only thing was that I was used to a firmer mattress. And maybe an extra pillow would have been helpful.

Good, clean and warm. Big shared kitchen. Nice shared area. Hard to adjust the water in the shower and no heating in the shower so quite cold.
