  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this property won't work — the policy explicitly states no pets.

“Lovely stay. Convenient spot near the metro and restaurants. They let us leave our bags before check-in and after checkout, which helped us explore. Room was comfortable with good climate control, and staff even allowed a later checkout. Nice view, especially when it snowed.”
