    I would recommend this building, know that the Castro is back to heavy party-ing and I love it but didn't expect it. It a party location. I also, got two twin beds, I made it work, but recommend confirming with them. I did ask for an upper floor so make that is why but if you are a couple that might not be a good choice. The room is really beautiful but is moist so by 6AM I felt the moisture but hey that is just me. The linens are wonderful, I didn't need to bring my own pillow and you shouldn't either. Free water, a snack and great wifi. Highly recommend otherwise. And don't leave anything behind, its 60.00 to get it back. I left my Sonicare, toothbrush. Such a bummer. Great finishes and balcony, I was in the back over the other restaurants but still loved having it. My dog appreciate it also.

    The contemporary design and the vibrant energy of this boutique hotel make it an absolutely stunning destination for anyone who wants to experience the heart of the city in style. I spent a long time relaxing on the rooftop terrace because the views of the neighborhood are spectacular and it is a fantastic spot to enjoy the sunset while soaking in the unique culture of the area. I really loved the attention to detail in the room decor because every suite is inspired by a different local icon which adds a very personal and artistic touch to the entire stay. The space is incredibly clean and quiet despite being located in such a lively district and I noticed that the digital check in process is very efficient and modern for travelers who appreciate a seamless and independent experience. It is a must visit for any traveler who values high quality amenities and a sophisticated atmosphere that still feels very connected to the history and the community of the surroundings. I also appreciated the proximity to so many amazing restaurants and cafes because you can easily explore the best of the local dining scene just by walking a few blocks from the front door. Even though it is a smaller hotel the sense of privacy and the luxury finishes in the bathroom and living areas make it feel like a high end retreat. I will definitely be returning here soon because the combination of the prime location and the beautiful interior design is truly unbeatable for a memorable visit.
