Very modern hotel/apartment complex. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Electronic entry worked well. There a helpful reception (open mostly during the day but not 24/7). If coming by rental car dropping bags can be an issue. Expect narrow streets with no parking. But there is a great 24/7 parking garage 2 minutes walk away.

The staff at City Lion were amazing! We were welcomed at our arrival and shown the basic features of our apartment, which included a private garden! During our stay, Manos was able to assist us in finding a taxi driver to take us into the mountains to visit two wineries! The location is great, with a laundromat a block away, a fun bar on the corner, and all sorts of restaurants and key attractions within a 5-10 minute walk. Our bed linens were changed after 2 days and the coffee pods and bottled water were refreshed at our request. The room was quiet, temperature controlled, and very clean. We would recommend this hotel as very comfortable and pleasant.
