This place is true to the claims and also true to the comments you'll see from others who've stayed there. It's conveniently in the middle of the city, so everything is within easy walking distance. We put in about 40 miles in three days because we enjoy traveling by foot, but the transit system and ferries are just as convenient. I promise you this place will be loud at night. It's not for light sleepers and not for kids. It worked well for my goal of showing my teenage son how to explore the culture of a city.
