No TV and no parking was a bummer. As long as you have your own laptop w/ Netflix or Amazon Prime & you are Ubering/Lyfting everywhere - it's perfect. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE!

Overall room was good. The climb up the stairs with no elevator and heavy luggage was not fun. And I think a tv and a few more guest amenities in the room would improve the accommodations. Area around the room is very nice. Lots of cute shops and delicious restaurants

Great space in a very convenient location. Lots of restaurants in the area and easily walkable to The Salt Shed. Stairs ARE narrow and steep but didn’t bother us.

comfortable bed, clean space, nice bathroom; very steep steps to climb to the third floor (be aware if you have heavy luggage); no tv or other amenities in the room (much more like a guest room and less like a hotel). great location, but not much else going for it.

This place is very cute. Our room looked right out on Division which I loved. There is no TV or fridge in the room. There is a little community room in the hallway that has a fridge and microwave. The price was very reasonable for the area. It was only about a 15 minute walk to he Salt Shed. There are a ton of good restaurants right outside. I would definitely stay here again.
