The staff were very nice, but there was still noise, especially in the rooms facing the train tracks. The apartment facilities were very good, but the gym was very small, and the swimming pool that had been promised was never made available to residents.

Apartment rental Facilities: There are many facilities, including a bar, bowling, billiards, a gym, and more. Internet speed: The internet is quite fast. Soundproofing: Once the windows are closed, it’s not noisy. Hygiene: The hygiene is really quite good. Location: The location is close to the city center. The only downside is that you can’t use the pool in the East Tower.

The sound insulation is poor, it's next to the street, the light rail is very noisy, and I need to wear earplugs to sleep at night. During the day, I have to speak loudly. The room has a strong odor; I need to keep the windows open during the day and can only sleep at night.
