Great place to stay, super friendly staff, a fun hipster hub in center of town with lots of activities and socializing downstairs with both a friendly bar and various hanging out spots. Near thr gay neighborhood is a bonus! Everything very new. We had a nice kitchen and washer dryer. Just one thing: our room was sooooo dark! There weren’t many lights and what there was was extremely dim. Pls recall WH, that while I know your target guests are young hipsters your guests CAN be middle aged and above and cannot operate in that little light.
