The area is decent enough with a market and shopping right at your doorstep but it’s a bit far from the action of the river which is where you inevitably will want to go.
I rated it lower because of the noise. The seagulls (which is under no ones control) have their nightly meetings on the rooftops next door from 1 am till about 6 am. Not casual relaxing beachy seagull sounds, but screeching, annoying, can’t-sleep sounds. That wouldnt be so bad if you could take a nap after sightseeing during the day. But being in the “top” floor you are right under the electrical unit for the elevators so literally all day you hear the pumps doing whatever it is they do but it is loud and distracting.
The pictures are accurate. The checkin was easy. The place was nicely decorated and very clean.
So basically if you’re sound sensitive or want to be in a cooler area then stay elsewhere, but if you’re ok with walking 20 mins then it’s decent.
The hosts are ok but you can definitely tell it’s a business.
