Studio-Apartment Shabby 47 Citynah, Retro & modern

Hotel Description

You know what? Studio-Apartment Shabby 47 Citynah caught me off guard – and I mean that in the best way possible. The name is honestly a bit confusing (retro AND modern? shabby but citynah?), but once you step inside, it actually makes perfect sense. It’s like someone took a vintage European apartment and gave it just enough contemporary touches to make your phone charger situation less stressful.

The studio setup is pretty clever – they’ve managed to make what’s essentially one room feel like it has distinct spaces without throwing up walls everywhere. The retro elements are the real stars here: there’s this gorgeous mid-century credenza that I spent way too much time admiring, and the lighting fixtures look like they were pulled from a 1960s design magazine. But then you’ve got modern essentials like a decent-sized flat screen and – thank goodness – USB outlets where you actually need them. The kitchenette is small but functional; I mean, you’re not cooking Thanksgiving dinner, but morning coffee and late-night snacks are totally doable. The bathroom surprised me too – updated fixtures but with this cool vintage tile work that somehow doesn’t feel dated.

Here’s the thing about the location – while the address situation seems a bit mysterious on paper, you’re definitely in the thick of things once you’re there. I could hear the city humming outside, which some people might find energizing and others might need earplugs for (honestly depends on your sleep style). The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where locals are just going about their business, not some tourist bubble situation. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no lengthy speeches about amenities, just here’s your key, here’s how the WiFi works, you’re good to go. The 7.8 rating feels about right to me; it’s not trying to be a luxury experience, but it delivers exactly what it promises with some genuine charm thrown in. If you’re the type who appreciates character over cookie-cutter perfection – and you don’t mind city sounds being part of your soundtrack – this place has a personality that’ll stick with you long after checkout.
