We stayed in an apartment and we loved it. We would stay here again. Fab location. Great staff. Especially great for young people but worked well for us over 40. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to have coffee for the morning. The bed was comfortable and a good size for two adults. The only thing to improve is temperature control. The room faced east and warmed up the big windows fast and there is no A/C. So we managed ok balancing working the blinds with getting fresh air. It would have been nice if temperature were easier to manage in that apartment.

I particularly liked the hostel's character and the location. The proximity to public transportation, while located on a relatively quiet street with plenty of charming places to enjoy a coffee or a branch within 1-2' walk distance. Breakfast was also great, with plethora of protein, carbs and vitamin-loaded options. And maybe I was lucky, but in these 3 days and nights I stayed there, every single staff and guest i saw in room, lobby and breakfast area were all looking and acting in a social and very sharp style.

GOOD; The staff are amazing and the place looks brand new, with comfy bunk beds. The cafe downstairs is really nice, has nice breakfast and good coffee, public transport is right outside. BAD; My usb by my bed was pushed into the wall so I couldn’t use it to charge my phone on top bunk. No aircon, and it was soo hot all 8 ppl in the room couldn’t sleep. We had a small fan in the room that didn’t reach the top bunk. The noise outside the window was sooo loud! Could hear the ambulances in the middle of the night going pass several times a night and the tram going pass. Sound proof windows are needed. Bathrooms are relatively clean, the soap never foams in your hands, felt like I haven’t washed my hands after several days.
