Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in an apartment and we loved it. We would stay here again. Fab location. Great staff. Especially great for young people but worked well for us over 40. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to have coffee for the morning. The bed was comfortable and a good size for two adults. The only thing to improve is temperature control. The room faced east and warmed up the big windows fast and there is no A/C. So we managed ok balancing working the blinds with getting fresh air. It would have been nice if temperature were easier to manage in that apartment.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I particularly liked the hostel's character and the location. The proximity to public transportation, while located on a relatively quiet street with plenty of charming places to enjoy a coffee or a branch within 1-2' walk distance. Breakfast was also great, with plethora of protein, carbs and vitamin-loaded options. And maybe I was lucky, but in these 3 days and nights I stayed there, every single staff and guest i saw in room, lobby and breakfast area were all looking and acting in a social and very sharp style.

The location is good, close to public transportation. I reserved single room, smelled bad, no ventilation and they don’t open the doors, since they don’t clean it or bring towels every day. No power outlet near the bed except loose USB, that keeps disconnecting.
