Really good Experience

boutique hotel super convenient location helpful staff
I found a wonderful boutique hotel with a super convenient location. It was close to shopping, bars, and restaurants. The staff was super cute, friendly, and helpful. Dinnig at Asador 44 and walking upstairs to my room was very convenient.
My room was much smaller than expected and very dark. There was no window view, it felt a bit like being in a cave. I was dissatisfied with the dinner I ate in Asador 44, the restaurant below.
