Super apartament i madh dhe luksoz. Ndodhet në zonë të mirë dhe afër qëndrës së qytetit. Ngjitur ke supermarkete, bare dhe restorante. Gjithashtu ETC është 5 min larg në këmbë. Ngjitur ka parkim privat dhe në rrugë. Orgesi nga priti ahumë mirë dhe na shpjegoj çdo gjë që na nevojitej për qëndrimin tonë. U kënaqëm shumë. Do kthehemi sërish patjetër.
