Rika is great & the space is lovely. We needed oil & she popped right - very responsive!
Check-in : It was a little tricky getting in because we had to wait over an hour for the mailman. We arrived with other guests for 3pm (and left a venue to make it on time); but he wasn’t done the mail until four & we couldn’t touch the box until then… There is a nice little Oyster bar beside where you get the key, a little pricey but somewhere to wait when the foyer is full of other guests waiting as well.
The neighbourhood is very lively with night life, so it’s wise to bring earplugs!
There was a fire alarm & we had to be FULLY evacuated about 11 PM, apparently this happens somewhat regularly, a couple of the resident said. We were up 20 flights of stairs and my thighs definitely felt like we had had a workout getting down and back up, lol. There were a few people that were elderly amongst the tourists, & they were having a really hard time with the evacuation just so you’re aware.
