The check-in was very easy and layback unit was big for a studio, and well thought-out bathroom was lovely and even had a modern mirror light which could be left on at night as a nightlight, they have tried hard to bring it all into a higher standard than perhaps a few years ago. Even though its mid August the aircon kept things lovely and warm
