It's a nice place and the staff was very kind. It was on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood, far enough away from the grind of the city and touristy locales - yet close enough that a solid 25-minute walk gets you to great spots to eat, drink, and see historic spots. I would stay here again - and I'm fairly picky.

We stayed 3 nights. Our flight got changed and the team were super helpful when we requested a date change, and his meant a room chance which was totally fine as the accommodation was very appreciated. Our second room was a bit loud, we could hear people coming and going and the plumbing in the walls, not a deal breaker but I bit disappointing. I’d definitely stay here again I’d just make a request to not be in room 101. The general area was super convenient and very quiet, bed was comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Thanks again to the team for being so helpful.
