melissa, Oct 2022
It is an old building. My room was very musty, sticky, and damp despite the ac working. They changed me to a upper floor which was better but still smelled of mold. Beautiful building but be prepared and ask for an upper floor room, at least 6th floor or above!! Overall it was ok.
