Everything is within walking distance, including restaurants, coffee shops, and the lively Fifth Avenue.The apartment itself was very clean, modern, and extremely well maintained. I would definitely recommend staying here.One thing to keep in mind is to request a room at the back of the building. The rooms facing the front, across from Karaoke 44, are extremely noisy until around 2:00 a.m., making it difficult to get a good...

"Perfect location and service, but rooms need an update. I had a mixed experience during my recent stay. On the positive side, the location is unbeatable, the staff were wonderful, and the breakfast was truly fantastic.

It’s a great spot if you prioritize service and location, but the rooms could use...
