The staff offered a complimentary simple breakfast with toast and coffee. I also found the common balcony spacious and comfortable. The location is excellent. It is right next to a market.

excellent location pretty terrace free breakfast

The location was excellent, close to the metro. It was super convenient. the staff was friendly and helpful when i needed something, and the terrace was really pretty. i really enjoyed the free breakfast. It was simple, though perfect for starting the day.

The room was very small. This made it a bit difficult to relax in the evenings.
