8/10 Good
"Overall a great stay! The code system Numa uses is very efficient and safe for accessing our room and various parts of the building. Comfortable room & bed. We also loved the laundry room to clean some of our clothes. A bit of a walk from the main part of the city, but the price reflects this. There is an amazing breakfast place called Idealist nearby. Our check in was slightly delayed due to our room not being cleaned on time which is the only reason for not giving 5 stars."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was pleasantly surprised by how easy and seamless the check-in process was. Everything was done through the app, and I could simply contact the host via WhatsApp using a QR code. The host responded very quickly and made the whole check-in process effortless. It was also incredibly easy to access the apartment. Each apartment has its own unique access code, which makes everything very convenient and stress-free. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and everything I needed was provided. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped, and overall, I had a great experience staying here. Very convenient, clean, easy, and well-organized.
