9/10 Wonderful! (298 reviews)

It’s a great location and nice vibe. Just two things: 1. The bed is up very steep spiral staircase… toilet is downstairs. If you go to the loo in the middle of the night take care! 2. The spare pullout bed was crazy uncomfortable, saggy middle and blocks access to the front door. I gave this feedback and got a slightly passive aggressive response. Much better to just sleep on the bench couch downstairs if you have to.
