I love it here at Albert Place, it's a lot smaller than the other accommodations in the area but in no way is that a detriment. Considering the size of the building, is rammed with equipment. The nature of Albert Place is very friendly and it feels like the staff knows you on a one-to-one basis which makes it much more friendly and welcoming. And much easier to ask for something should you need help. As for the flats they are great value for money.
