Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying at botique hotels that are inside the neighborhoods when I visit big cities. This one fits the bill perfectly. Everything is within a 15-25 minute walk and public transportation is within a 5 minute walk. The staff was amazing and the rich history of the property makes the stay even more enjoyable."
