There is no front desk, no lift, and nobody wearing a badge. What there is: deep baths, gauzy curtains, a kitchen that starts at six, and two owners who have done every job in this building at least once. If something is wrong, the person who can fix it is already in the room.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
