central stay

ideal locationflower marketpleasant staff
i found the location ideal for exploring the city. it was very close to the flower market. the staff was helpful and pleasant. a short walk led to the city center.
The heater and the safe did not work. towels took a long time to arrive, despite multiple requests via the app. the airport transfer for three people used a small car instead of a van. A larger vehicle should be an option.
