My stay at No 05 Middle Street was fantastic! I felt welcomed from the get-go with a refreshing smoothie upon arrival. The place has stunning architecture and beautiful art, although the walls were a bit thin, which made it echoey. The breakfast was a highlight, but the water pressure in the shower could use a boost.
