A charming boutique hotel with a lovely staff in a great location. People should know there is no elevator ( tho the staff was very helpful with our suitcases). Some design flaws in our room: you have to walk thru the shower to get to the toilet (potentially slippery ), overhead nightlights high up and hard to reach the switch, interior steps in the room that require attentive walking. No closet or drawer space. One side of the bed (very comfortable otherwise) against the wall. Overall chic, welcoming, but some impractical features in the rooms.

During the day, The Annex area is quirky and interesting with tonnes of very good graffiti art. But, there was no place close or open for breakfast and I’m not sure I’d want to stray too far from the hotel after dark. But there are tonnes of restaurants nearby for dinners.
