    The staff was awfully nice and helpful. Location is pretty good. Although not in the city center, it was very close to it and to the university which is what I was looking for.

    Free parking space was an enormous plus here! But also the super-friendly hosts and the wonderful breakfast. Location is great as well: the Westend part is a 5 minute walk, with nice pubs and restaurants.
