SO well located and a lot going for this place but I do wish the rooms were a little better equipped. The philosophy of sharing is great - until it’s 11.30pm and you need a kettle, or the Uber Eats arrives and the only bowls available are four floors away. And who really wants to drink vino from a 3-D printed mug? For $40 per room everyone could have all they need.
