"The property itself is really nice. Very comfortable and within a short walk to most places someone would want to go. The checkin was a little out of the way, and the areas around the front of the building at full of trash, homeless people, and a stench of urine. It is also a very loud area at night and the apartment itself doesnt do well with keeping the sound out. It could be a really nice place with a little TLC. "

"I had the single room, which was stylish, very cute and exactly as advertised, and was very clean with a comfortable bed. The separate private bathroom was actually on the floor above, but again very clean and well appointed (except that the hot and cold taps are labelled the wrong way around!). The bedroom walls are not hugely sound proof but they thoughtfully provided ear plugs. Lots of cafés locally for breakfast. I'd certainly stay here again. "
