super central stay!

i was blown away by the location , so central and easy to walk everywhere. the room had modern details and felt super cosy , a very welcome retreat. i found the staff cute .
the bathroom lacked a shower screen , so water splashed everywhere whenever i used the handheld shower. it made keeping the bathroom dry quite challenging , something i hope they can improve.

the staff were very friendly. they helped with our bags to the room and provided helpful information about local attractions. the cleaning lady julia was also very nice. she assisted us with our bags upon arrival and departure.
a mirror above the dressing table would be useful. the full-length mirror did not have a power point near it.
