Staying at the Barsala at KoZ exceeded our expectations. The studio apartment we rented for the week was spacious enough for two. The kitchenette helped make our stay feel more homey. The bed was firm but comfortable. There was a laundry room ($2.00 wash / $2.00 dryer) with complementary laundry detergent available. The staff were super helpful and responsive. Check in / out was easy.
The location is on the edge of the Pearl district so walkable to restaurants, cafes, bars, and grocery stores.
One thing to highlight is that the apartment building is located within the 2 hr parking zoning area (7am-7pm M-Sat). As long as you're ok with moving your car, parking is free. If not, there are paid lots in the area.
The building is next to a freeway, however, we never heard any traffic noise in our room.
We'd definitely stay again.
