While maintaining the intimate atmosphere of a boutique establishment, this 3-star gem delivers service that rivals many higher-category accommodations in the area.

    Location was amazing next to metro station and restaurants.
    The host was very nice and kind. She allowed us to checkout by 12 pm and even left our luggages till 12 30pm.
