The apartment I booked was spacious and had tons of space. Kitchen was stocked with the basics and the hostel lobby had anything else you needed. Shower was hot, room temperature was controllable, and the room had thoughtful lighting. Warning, there are a LOT of stairs to climb (over 80) to get to the hostel landing. It was old and charming and I would happily book again!

Perfect location if taking public transport to/from the airport: I had to leave at 3am for a flight and felt very safe. Staff was amazing. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect for a couple traveling on a budget or someone looking for a bit of private space! Very close to most major attraction and the space is very cute, quirky and good for rest and relaxation in between seeing the city. Highly recommend!
