8.8Verified guest“The suite was roomy and came with a washing machine, which I used every day for clothes. It was quiet, with only two rooms per floor, so it felt private. Daily cleaning was a plus, and the kettle was handy for morning coffee. Residential area but close to the subway and local restaurants.”
