Perfect location! Trendy and safe neighborhood. Clean and so comfortable. We slept like babies - the bed and bedding was A. Nice extra touches like foam ear plugs and a couple water bottles in a fridge. It was hot outside and the A/C works very well. I’d stay here again - the price was much better than hotels in the area.
