About

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No breakfast on site — The property offers a shared kitchen but no mention of breakfast service, so you'll need to plan your own meals.
  • Potential Wi-Fi instability — One guest noted occasional interruptions during video conferences, though Wi-Fi was adequate for general work.
  • No pets allowed — The policy prohibits pets, so traveling with animals isn't possible here.
  • Limited soundproofing (implied) — No explicit evidence of soundproofing, but given it's a 6th-floor apartment in a lively avenue, street noise may be present—though not mentioned in reviews.
