A great experience. This is a house turned to Hotel. It was a unique experience and a quite pleasant one. The location and the views are incredible. The service was very customizable and personal. And the hotel it’s self is an art gallery. I recommend.

Overall service was enthusiastic and friendly. Breakfast was excellent but had a disappointing meal at Nobu. Facilities showing its age and could do with an update. Neighborhood was safe and nice restaurants within walking distance. There are probably better options at this price point.
