Nicely updated building with good style.

Negative Reviews
negative:
The central location brings street noise.
As is to be expected from a location in downtown, the area can get rather noisy owing to street traffic. Guests also noted that there was considerable noise coming from the adjacent bars on the weekend, and some suggested that the apartments at the back of the building are quieter.
negative:
Uncomfortable sofa beds.
A number of visitors were dismayed to find that the extra beds in the apartments were actually sofa beds, which many said were old, hard, and uncomfortable.
negative:
Poor climate control in the rooms.
The apartments lack air conditioning and a number of visitors reported that their rooms were hot and stuffy in the warmer months. Others added that there was a lack of fans or proper ventilation in the bathrooms.
