Great place to stay. Walking distance from the metro and a bus stop a few feet away. Various coffee shops and a pharmacy down the block in case of emergencies. Check in was smooth although it definitely helps to have phone service to facilitate communication of accurate time of arrival. We purchased a SIM card which worked perfectly with our iPhones (20 euros for phone service in Europe which included 30GB). Overall it was a great and warm place to stay. Definitely recommend this place. Working elevator was a plus since we walked a lottttt.
