The space includes two comfortable bedrooms, one full bathroom, a cozy living area with a sleeper sofa, dedicated in-unit laundry, and a convenient kitchenette with essentials for a comfortable stay.

Guests have a private entrance and keyless self check-in, so arrival is simple and flexible. Your unique access code and full check-in details will be provided before arrival. There is no need to coordinate an in-person key exchange.
The living area is designed for relaxing after a day in the city, with comfortable seating and entertainment options. The bedrooms offer a cozy place to recharge, and the dedicated washer and dryer make the space especially convenient for longer stays.
Parking is available by request, and street parking may also be available nearby subject to posted signs and city regulations.

A bus stop is located nearby, making it easy to connect to other parts of the city.
