“The suites here are clearly designed for longer stays, with fully equipped kitchens and separate living spaces that make it feel more like a serviced apartment than a hotel room. I appreciate the extra space and the convenience of having a proper kitchen, plus perks like on-site Italian dining and a reliable breakfast. Its location is near enough to the city's cultural landmarks while providing a bit of quiet.”
