Clean and quiet comfort.
Pros:

The property itself was very clean and quiet. The staff did not really interact with the guest unless needed, which I truly appreciated. If I needed anything they were always quick. At check in they went over everything that I needed to know, and they were great at giving recommendations. The room was very clean. I appreciated that there was a kitchen available if needed and the room had a refrigerator. I will definitely be staying here again.

We loved staying there and will definitely return for several more stays!
Pros:

It was relatively clean (everything but the floors). It was quiet and in a safe neighborhood. It was in a fabulously wonderful area with everything within walking distance (restaurants, shops, bars, parks, theaters, …).

Cons:

Just the floors. They were dirty. Everything else was spotlessly clean.
