Friendly staff and very safe feel. Creative design with good communal lounge space, and some comfortable spots to read/ work. Very close to acacia mall (where you’ll find everything you could need) and a lot of good (but expensive) restaurants. If coming at night, it’s a little hard to find so it’s good to figure that out ahead of time or have a car/boda who knows where they are going.
