The bathrooms are shared. The accommodation spaces have a kitchen, coffee machine, flat-screen TV and soundproofing; the shared facilities include a fridge, microwave, oven, hob, toaster, kettle and kitchenware. Some options also have a seating or dining area, while the women-only option has views of an inner courtyard and access to a patio.
