The owner is super kind and helpful, the room has a lot of comfort (like a small fridge, a microwave oven, the espresso coffee machine) and the bathroom too has a lot of stuff that you can use. I loved the warm ambience and I felt like at home. The place is well connected by public transport and you can check-out at any time.
