Definitivamente este lugar es la mejor opción. El elemento diferenciador es el trato tan amable, pero las habitaciones, la terraza, los desayunos, la ubicación (cerca de restaurantes muy muy buenos) hacen que sea un hospedaje distinto! Totalmente recomendado!

I like that this place, unlike other hotels actually has a kitchen where they cook authentic breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel also has a cooking class on rooftop. This location was very convenient

Great location on a street with several bars and restaurants. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was simple and tasty. Only negative is related to the hot tubs on the rooftop deck—the water is cold and they close at 7pm. They should be open later.
