Well-Equipped Studio for Solo Travellers

comfortable bedkitchen facilitiesessential equipment
The studio apartment had a queen bed, which I found comfortable for a single person.. The room included all necessary kitchen facilities and equipment, which I used for simple meals. The gym had essential equipment, including a treadmill and free weights, good for a basic workout.
The water pressure in the shower was a little weak, a minor inconvenience.

really good stay!

great locationfriendly staffeasy check-inwalkable restaurants
i found the location excellent. we could easily walk to the basilica, the national gallery, byward market and later a tour of the senate. we also walked to the immersive parliament tour the next day. many restaurants were walkable too. entering the building was easy with a code, staff were friendly, and check out was equally straightforward.
The queen bed was quite small for a couple. the walls seemed thin, and the door did not isolate well. I heard hall and room noises.
Rooms

the room was super clean and spacious. the loo was mostly clean and there were cute hosts. a comfy bed, a great thermostat, and a good hairdryer added to the experience. free laundry and pods were available.
