8.6/10 Excellent! (167 reviews)
The room was clean, parking was great, location a little bit off, maybe 20 min to city centre, but the owner doesnt let late check outs, you have to go with your car out of the garage till 11. Too bad if you would like to explore the city your last day.

Amazing city with so much to see and do. I would recommend using the “Lime scooters” as a cheap and convenient way to get around.
