10/10 Excellent

The vibe is very cozy here. I was shocked with how nice it was, I didn’t expect it to be so clean and well decorated. A kind of simple but elegant feel. I enjoyed the books in the cozy nook they had in the second floor, and the staff was very nice too. Mo blessed me with some new music recommendations which I was shocked how much I loved it, something you don’t get from any random, transactional accommodation. This is a place to feel grounded, comfortable, & at home amidst your travels in...
