  • Limited parking and key sets — A past guest noted limited parking and a lack of key sets as minor inconveniences, though parking is available nearby.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 20:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals unless you arrange in advance.
  • Apartment may feel snug for larger groups — The property is a single-apartment setup, not a full hotel, which could feel limited for those expecting extensive on-site services.
