“A unique base for exploring the city with stable Wi-Fi. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the bathroom and climate control were nice, and there was an individual safe plus pay television. Breakfast offered a wide range of coffee and tea. The location was unbeatable, within walking distance of a large public park, with plenty of food options nearby. A really great stay, as always.”
