“It's the quiet street location, near all the essential amenities like restaurants and shops, that makes this place a smart find. The recent remodel is evident, with new, quality furnishings throughout, especially in the comfortable bedrooms and well-equipped kitchen. Having private laundry facilities and ample common space, often entirely to oneself given the small number of rooms, adds a distinct sense of ease and privacy to the stay.”
