my stay was very pleasant, my only complain was the noise, I guess the walls are not that sounds proof because I could hear almost every morning when they started cleaning the rooms that were nearby, and one night I could hear my neighbor snoring. Apart from that everything was great!!! clean rooms, location is amazing and you have many restaurants and supermarkets nearby.
