Mixed feelings about this stay

limited varietyno soundproof
The room was NOT soundproof. I could hear EVERYTHING from the adjacent room, difficult to relax. the breakfast options were rather limited. There wasn't much variety and some items ran out quickly and were not replenished, I noticed.

Excellent Stay in Prime Location

This accommodation has a location near a public transport station. It is a five minute walk. The neighborhood felt safe. The staff assisted with transport and gave recommendations. I visited a recommended restaurant, Massa Bistro, almost every day for dinner.
The room was compact.
