The location was amazing, right by major city attractions. A walking distance to everything, and I didn't need transportation. Many nice restaurants were around , alongside many shops.

My room was on the first floor , and it had some issues. There were noises from the street late at night, right under the window. Also , the toilet space felt very small , maybe due to the building structure.
