Verdict
Book
Only 7 of 178 reviews report a problem, and the listing books fine on the numbers alone. A noise complaint about hearing neighbors through the building and a maintenance issue with a broken sofa bed each appear, but neither repeats often enough to change the picture. Most guests focused on space and location instead.
