This place is really nice and clean and cozy! Perfect aside from the location, outside of it is a little sketchy but its not like they can control that. It is pretty safe once youre inside, and very very friendly staff! I stayed in the winter so AC didnt matter, so i didnt check to see how good that is. Loved it, Good times
