I'd stay again.
Pros:

Location was excellent for my purposes.

Cons:

The bed was an unusual design with a shelf like piece of wood attached to the bed which made it difficult to get into and out of the bed.

Perfect location - Great Staff - Small but cozy rooms. Thank you!
Pros:

Location is absolutely perfect. Walkable distance to incredible restaurants, bars and clubs. Loved every minute of our stay! Washing mashine is a bit pricy but easy to use via QR Code.

Cons:

Close to perfect - Just the room size is really, really small.
With my boyfriend it's fine. I wouldn't want to share this room (and we had a "Plus / bigger" room) with a friend.
