I really enjoyed stay at Melissa and Palmer's - a really cool space with endless fun decor to explore. I like walking around cities so the location wasn't a problem for me, and I was totally fine with running into other guests, etc. That said, if you're looking for a very private stay this may not be for you - especially as the Pagoda room has a cute little "door" but isn't really separated from the main space by any full walls. Another tip for that room is to avoid really heavy luggage or keep it downstairs- I didn't mind the ladder since I just had a backpack, but I can imagine it being much trickier with a suitcase!
