Great little place centrally located. For the price, I would definitely stay again. The doorwoman spoke little english, but she so charming it really didn't matter. The washing machine was a surprise. You can faintly here the subway going by, though I found it comforting after awhile. Wifi works well. We didn't use the kitchen, but it appeared functional. There is no view except of the simple courtyard. You are on the ground floor in what appears to be and old carriage house that is converted to a flat. There is plenty of restaurant choices right outside the door. Also, I recommend the Fat Tire night bike tour - cheap and fun. Oh, and as much as I liked this room, I don't recommend spending much time there unless you have a lot of it. Just step out the door and sit at one of many cafes and slowly drink your favorite drink. There's a big park across the street too.
