"Amazing people, great location, place is brand new. Jacuzzi and rooftop terrace is lovely. Maria is awesome! If it is full or close to full, it can be 20 people sharing 2 showers. Downstairs private suite shares bathroom with men’s dorm and is adjacent to smoking area, which is not ideal. Doorbell rings many times through the night. Just things to know. Uber is $50euro from airport. "
