Since windows are not double-glazed, request a room in the quiet rear.
Concierge "The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."

Rough Guide "A fittingly happening spot in this über-hip neighbourhood, with modern but warm public spaces – all exposed brick and burnished metal – and comfy boutique rooms."

Avoid the high tourist months of June and July.

Condé Nast Traveler78.6
