"The location was easy to find, as well as the instructions to get into the room. However because the buzzer is sometimes down to open the door, I would be cautious coming at night, once you are checked in you get a key. The place was extremely clean and their cleaning lady was very helpful. The hosts reply quickly to msgs. They allowed for earlier check in which was extremely helpful. We loved the area is was situated in, tons of good restaurants nearby and there was the train station 4 min walk...

10/10 Excellent
"The location of the hotel was great. Felt safe and they have a/c. Down side is we had a group of 6 people and no place to gather with snacks and drinks. They told us it was not allowed in the lobby. There was no pool area or common area for sitting outside either."
