prime locationwalking distancespacious roompublic transportation
The location was EXCELLENT, near Anton Martin metro station. It made accessing other areas simple. I found many attractions within WALKING distance, which saved on transportation costs. The room was surprisingly SPACIOUS. I did not feel cramped at all.
The walls seemed a bit thin. I could hear some noise from the hallway at times.
