Nice host, who arranged much cheaper taxi back to the airport, than what we paid when we arrived. Very well equiped apartment, including necessary groceries in the kitchen, like olive oil, vinegar, salt, coffee, tea ... Plenty of restaurants around the area, market around the corner, pastry shop / pizza place just across the street. You feel very safe in this neighborhood.

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them

    Great location, safe, clean, good value. I hadn't stayed in a hostel since I was single and in my 20s but this time I was there with my two children (ages 9 and 12) and my two parents (in their 70s) and all had a great time. We had private triple rooms (three twin beds and private bathroom) The staff was great, the rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again.
