Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Crystal Home is frequently described as beautiful, spacious, and spotless, offering a 'home from home' feel, where guests appreciate having access to a shared living room, kitchen, and even streaming services like Netflix. The pin-based locks on the front door and rooms provide good security, and the availability of a washer and dryer adds convenience for longer stays; some guests have found the location a bit less accessible by tram, though a bus stop to the city centre is within a short walk. Guests particularly enjoy the large bathroom with both a bath and shower, as well as the garden access with patio doors.
