The check in was very easy and we were able to do it on our own - which I liked so that we could arrive when we wanted and not have to put anyone out. Bed was comfortable. Everything worked and was clean. I was comfortable there with my husband but not sure I would stay in that area on my own or with another woman. It is not a bad area but very empty late at night and in the early morning. Location was great for the metro and good restaurant options nearby. I also liked having a real - non-tourists market so close. The whole area was non- touristy which is nice after being with crowds of people all day. If you are into soccer it would be a really great location for you. She did leave a bottle of wine which was a nice touch. We were out very early and stayed gone till the evening and just went to bed so never got to drink it.
