Exactly what’s needed for minimalist. Even had a night stand and a small fridge. Plenty of space with the double beds and washroom was clean. Common areas well kept and having laundry was a plus! Adapters + usb plugs available as well as a common kitchen area. Location was tucked in between restaurants and convenience stores. Close to THREE coffee shops and the train station is a 5 minute walk. Getting to and from the airport was easy. Only one hill if people are wondering.
