EXCELLENT apartment near university!

clean roomsspacious apartmenthandwashing soap

The rooms were PERFECT. Clean rooms were spacious and the rooms came complete with kitchen areas and ALL needed appliances and utensils. It suited my work and the kitchen meant I could have my own food prepared.

The bathroom didn't even have any handwashing soap, but the staff replaced that once I asked for it.

The apartments look very good at a first glance. The kitchen comes equipped with kitchen tools and appliances, which I appreciated VERY much. There is free parking available, a GREAT convenience.

Location

This location is lovely with the parks nearby and is close to the university. The hotel faces the university campus, main room has 2 large windows. It is a short walk to the city center.

Dining

The Green Frog Cafe is one block away. This makes getting coffee or a quick bite EASY. Because of the kitchen, I could have my own food prepared. The nearby shops allow easy access to groceries.
