Exceptional

The property is like a home, in fact it is a home. The owner runs the hotel, he is a food lover himself and makes different dishes for his guests. Further lots of food options for self service at any time of the day are available.
And most importantly, the price is relatively low for this area. And there is no compromise on quality at all.
Loved the place and lovedvthe owner Marco! Very attentive but not intrusive. As a parent leaving a freshman at MIT this place was amazing! We were at walking distance to everything we or our new-dorm- resident- son may need. Very recomended. Important to know, this is not an hotel, but it have all you may need.
