We've stayed in the same building before but not this specific unit. It's a terrific space for a couple of small family (it's one bedroom). It's quite roomy, comfortable, and functional with a full kitchen and plenty of space to work or relax. Temperatures reached single digits outside while we were there but it was perfectly cozy inside.
