I stayed here two consecutive weekends. Both times, the staff was very friendly and the courtyard is very nice if you plan to hang out at the guest house, or eat meals there. The restaurant options for dinner are not many right outside the guest house, but I really like the Portugalia across the street, so that's where I ate (steak, Portugalia style). I highly recommend it. And don't skip the dessert: the chocolate mousse is phenomenal. The metro is very near, so you can get anywhere really quickly. There are lots of coffee shops right outside the guest house for breakfast and quick meals. I gave it 3 stars because the first time I was upgraded to an apartment, which sounded nice, but it was a fifth floor walk-up, it felt cheaply built, and it was poorly furnished (no chairs or surfaces to put things on in the bedroom beyond the night tables, no tvs in the bedrooms, no plugs near the nightables). And the sole tv in the hallway did not work. I was told it would be fixed but it was not. The next weekend I stayed in a room and it was much nicer. I was allowed to get into the room early, which was great. Like I said, the staff is very friendly. I wanted to open the window, however, and it was stuck. Again, I was told it would be fixed but it never was. I like this area, but some people may not. It may be too edgy for some people. I always felt safe, though.
