SO well located and a lot going for this place but I do wish the rooms were a little better equipped. The philosophy of sharing is great - until it’s 11.30pm and you need a kettle, or the Uber Eats arrives and the only bowls available are four floors away. And who really wants to drink vino from a 3-D printed mug? For $40 per room everyone could have all they need.

Cute place, inexpensive but too noisy. All night you can hear guests above you and beside you in their rooms. Noise in the common areas goes through the night. Music is also played in the hallway that you hear from your room. I would not stay again.
