“I see this place as a solid find: private rooms with ensuite bathrooms priced like hostel beds nearby. The immediate area presents a lively atmosphere, steps from a main street's shops and eateries, and a short walk puts you at the metro for airport access. For travelers prioritizing value and a bit of local flavor, it stands out.”
