Gateway Residence

A handy spot for a short visit. The metro is very close, and restaurants, grocery stores, and bus stops are practically at the doorstep.

A pretty average B&B, but in a nice location.

Beautiful.

The price is the one real plus: it’s the cheapest around here. Still, paying less doesn’t always seem worth it when you sleep badly, so judge for yourself. I was more or less stuck sleeping here for a year, so I got a pretty clear picture. Sleeping was awful. If you have to stay, bring earplugs and an eye mask, especially earplugs, because without them it feels like sleeping out on the street. The showerhead was badly rusted and didn’t work properly. The place was only just clean, though I never checked closely, luckily I’ve got a strong stomach. Bottled water was hit or miss in the room. Once I booked a room and, the day before I arrived, found out they’d given it to someone else. I was left out on the street and in a serious bind.
