Cozy room in a great location. Perfect for 1 person. Yes, the room is located right next to the kitchen. While I was there, only 1 or 2 other people actually used the kitchen. Most days it was quiet. The WiFi was great, hot water was always available and the location is hard to beat. The closest rapid bus route #49 was literally just 2 blocks away. It is an older building, so you do hear people stomping about upstairs and when they come down the stairs as well, but after awhile you get used to it. Give this cozy place a shot and enjoy the City while you are at it.
