  • 10:00 check-out — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels and may require planning if you have a later flight.
  • Limited on-site services — As an apartment property, there's no restaurant or daily housekeeping included; guests rely on the shared kitchen and self-catering setup.
