“The apartments stand out for their well-equipped facilities, making short or long stays particularly convenient, while housekeeping offers that extra touch of comfort. Though some ground-floor noise has been noted, most will appreciate the prime New Town location and responsive service. I especially like that you can drop off your keys early.”

efficient staff luggage storage quiet room
The front desk staff greeted me warmly and efficiently. I appreciated their offer to store my luggage. My apartment had a sitting room, invaluable for relaxation before bed (it was very quiet there).
The 10 AM check-out felt a little early.
