The position and the kindness of the staff
Sherlyn from Singapore (7/10)
The staff were friendly and there were multiple subway lines around the hotel. This hotel is a boutique hotel with no cafes or restaurants within. Fortunately, there are a few cafes and ice cream shops in the area. Whole Foods Market is also a 15 min walk away.

Room was small but just what we needed. Clean and comfy bed. The patio was lovely. I was worried about street noise, but it was quiet and there were no sleep disruptions.
