7.2Verified guest“Good value for money, and everything worked well for both a business trip and a family stay. The deluxe apartment overlooked the garden and had a microwave, electric kettle, and fridge. The bed was exceptionally comfortable – I slept really well. The location is excellent, right next to Yaya Centre and other local shops, plus a nice market, and Artcaffe Yaya is a short walk away.”
