charmed stay
beautiful decoration mannered staff extra treat
the location was perfection, especially with our favorite restaurant and shopping spots nearby. the interiors were beautifully decorated, i must say. the staff acted mannered and quite accommodating (such a plus when traveling!). they even gave our dog treats and toys, which reminded me of a great touch.
our room was indeed dark. if we opened a window, there were so many close quarter rooms nearby, others could easily peek inside.

amazing stay!
well sized room friendly staff central location lovely lights
my room was well sized! the staff were very friendly. i appreciated the central location, it was great! i could easily walk to nearby shops. the cafe downstairs was cracking. the lights were lovely.
the noise levels at night were a bit much. it came from outside, even with ear buds. it's something known about. there was a white noise radio in the room though.

The location was fantastic, nice for easy access to many attractions. The front desk staff were helpful and cute. the cafe downstairs was convenient, with a nice spot for a quick bite. the room was very stylish, and i found the decor to be quite charming.
The noise from a nearby bar was noticeable until late at night. This impacted the sleep quality. the lighting in the main bedroom was insufficient.

the studio was spacious and very well equipped with a small kitchen area. a washing machine was a plus for longer stays allowing me to pack light. location was great being a short walk to main attractions.
the room was not cleaned to my standard as i noticed dust under the bed. the bathroom lacked proper ventilation causing it to feel damp after showering.

dark room flooding shower
The room was a bit dark, actually. opening the window meant everyone in the vicinity could see straight in. Not exactly my idea of privacy. plus, the shower seemed to have a mind of its own and kept flooding the bathroom floor. It became a bit of a water park. i'd advise bringing extra towels, or maybe a small boat.
