There is a lot to like about this place. Christian is a responsive host. Location is close to the subway on Metropolitan. It was especially clean, bed very comfortable, hot water is "on-demand" so no waiting around for the shower to warm up, windows do an excellent job of blocking out exterior noise, coffee and tea were available, enough hangers in the closet, great towels. We were surprised that there is no thermostat in the room, but opening the windows at night kept the room from becoming over heated. Our rating was a 4 because the two chairs pictured next to the table were broken and unusable. Christian was surprised to learn about that and was apologetic. Also the couch by the table is also very low and not particularly comfortable for eating at the table. We had hoped to to have our daughter and her husband join us for a take-out meal one night, but the seating was insufficient. We would definitely come back in the future if the seating is better.
