The location is excellent, walking distance of the most iconic places. The personnel was very kind and helpful. Very friendly environment for a very diverse people from families, young students and more mature ones. Very interesting concept of a shared kitchen. We were very igratefully mpressed by the ECO effort that the place practice.
