SmartApart
The room was clean, parking was great, location a little bit off, maybe 20 min to city centre, but the owner doesnt let late check outs, you have to go with your car out of the garage till 11. Too bad if you would like to explore the city your last day.

The room was very comfortable and clean and close to the 'main hub'. Communication happened mainly via whatsapp and was efficient and timely with clear instructions. Though the building within which the suites are located is old, the room was modern. Note that you'd need your own streaming accounts ...
