Great place to stay! Hostel like environment allows for a more budget friendly stay while visiting the city. In a great area and near a lot of quick food places. Subway was nearby allowing easy access to public transit if needed. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends, and will definitely be my spot to stay when visiting.
