  • There are five floors with a total of 56 rooms. We share the four large kitchens on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th floor. The guests on the first floor share the kitchen with those on the 2nd floor. Everyone else has their kitchen on their floor. There is one large laundry room on the first floor with washers and dryers. We do have additional storage in the attic for suitcases and such.


  • All floors are accessible by elevator and stairs. All areas are accessible to all community members, however food items and cooking should take place in the communal kitchen assigned to your floor


Mini Fridges, TVs & AC's:


  • Since this building used to be a hotel, all rooms are fitted with an aircon, and some also have mini fridges and/or TV's. These items were left behind for your convenience and are free to use. However, they are not part of our official services, which means we do not repair, maintain, or replace them. If you’d prefer to have the mini fridge or TV removed, just let us know- we’re happy to assist. Air conditioning units cannot be removed, as they are built into the structure.
