Excellent Value in Vibrant Area

good breweryjapanese districtworn mat
I found the location very convenient! nearby pubs and a good brewery were definite perks. the japanese district is also within a reasonable distance. The well-stocked markets offered interesting finds. the proximity to the metro station was also a definite plus.
The women's bathroom on the floor i stayed on was not ideal. it needed more frequent cleaning. I noticed grime in the shower area. the mat on the floor seemed old and worn.

The entry featured inviting artwork. It seemed like a warm welcome. Masuma was available. She handled our check-in with ease. The fridge inside our room was very useful. I loved the dimming light. It created a dreamy atmosphere, almost like a gentle hug after a long day.
Shared restrooms are there. Every now and then someone seems to try opening them.
