nice rooftop terrace, convenient kitchen access, usable lockers for storage

The lack of hand soap in the shared bathrooms is concerning!!! Hot water took ages to kick in during showers!!! Noise from the nearby theater could be annoying for light sleepers!!!

dirty kitchen

cold shower

this place had the audacity to serve a cold shower and ask me to wait forever for hot water. Who do they think they are? I almost gave them a decent review, until I noticed the filthy kitchen. honestly, I expected a complimentary upgrade for enduring such inconveniences but clearly, that was too much to ask. Disgraceful.

The facts without the fluff

A welcoming place with artistic decorations right on the main drag. The friendly staff offered coffee generously, adding warmth to my stay. The clean and well-equipped kitchen was especially useful for preparing meals. The central location provided easy access to vibrant local culture and markets, making my visit truly enjoyable.

rooftop terrace

cozy atmosphere

Loved the cozy atmosphere and the rooftop terrace was a perfect spot to unwind. The kitchen made cooking easy, particularly useful with the nearby supermarket.

Felt right at home, no reason to complain.
