Better than a hotel in many respects--central location, extremely clean and tastefully decorated (including small samples of books by authors like Aesop and Herodotus). The Netflix access was a great touch, the washer and dryer quite functional, and there were no unwelcome smells (like cleaning chemicals or other). The street nearby is typically fairly noisy due to a bar, but from the bedroom such noises are distant, and with the bedroom door closed it ceases to be a problem (in my case I appreciated the white noise it provided and it actually helped me sleep).
