Peter is a delightful host, extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel is beautiful, and we were not at all put off like some of the other reviewers who commented negatively on the interior decorating business. This added charm to the experience and didn't detract in any way! The area feels totally safe but the location is for people who are comfortable in an urban setting with graffiti nearby the surrounding streets which are not perfectly polished. Along with the charm, and impeccable design and comfort, some of the rooms do not have a traditional shower. Our bathroom was gorgeous but the hand held shower for hair washing took a little getting adjusted to. Great experience. Would cheerfully return.
