the location was excellent, right in the heart of everything (i really loved being so close to all the action). the staff were very helpful with directions and recommendations. i had a cute balcony, and there was also a shared rooftop area with nice views.

the bathroom was quite small. the noise from the street was noticeable. i also missed having a lift (climbing stairs with luggage isn't my favorite thing).
