Scene
Small bed-and-breakfast with homey atmosphere, appealing to young people on a budget
Occupying the ground and first floors of a building that's about 60 or 70 years old, this bed-and-breakfast has a homey vibe and lots of charm. Even so, it feels a bit more like a hostel, with its communal features and optional dorm rooms. Interiors are bright and fresh, and shared areas such as the kitchen and dining area encourage guests to interact with each other. Decor is a funky blend of antique, vintage, and modern pieces. It's quieter than many similar properties, and house rules state that alcohol is not allowed on the premises. With a variety of room options, it works well for couples, families, groups, or individuals. It's most appealing to younger guests on a budget who like the trendy neighborhood and easy access to public transportation.

Rooms
Bright, fresh rooms with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, some with en-suite bathrooms
Rooms are modern, fresh, and bright, with light hardwood floors, softly colored walls with richer accent walls, and cheerful linens on beds. Distressed wooden furniture adds some character, but decor is otherwise minimal. Rooms lack closets, so hooks on the wall are used for hanging clothes.

Some rooms have en-suite bathrooms, while others share facilities. Private bathrooms are modern and bright, with above-counter sinks, colorful tile, and walk-in showers.

A triple room with three beds for families has a large picture window with views out to the street, but it shares a bathroom.
