M3 Main Square Studio Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “Main Square Studio,” I was expecting one of those cramped tourist traps that squeeze a bed into what used to be a closet. But M3 actually surprised me in the best way. The studio sits right in the heart of things (hence the name), and you know what? They really nailed that sweet spot between being close enough to walk everywhere but far enough back that you’re not dealing with street noise at 2 AM.

The space itself is way more thoughtfully designed than most three-star places bother with. I mean, someone clearly spent time figuring out how to make a studio feel like an actual home rather than a hotel room that happens to have a kitchenette shoved in the corner. The bed’s positioned so you get natural light without feeling like you’re sleeping in a fishbowl, and they’ve got this clever little dining nook that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The kitchen setup is honestly better than what I have at home – decent-sized fridge, proper stovetop, and enough counter space that you can actually prep a meal without playing kitchen Tetris with your groceries.

What really sold me though was all the little stuff that shows someone who gets it was involved in setting this place up. The shower pressure is fantastic (seriously, you’d be amazed how many places get this wrong), there’s enough storage that you can actually unpack if you’re staying more than a night, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t mysteriously die every time more than two people in the building try to use Netflix. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that overly complicated key card dance that makes you feel like you need an engineering degree just to get into your room. And here’s something I really appreciated: they’ve got blackout curtains that actually block light, not those decorative panels that let half the sunrise stream in at 6 AM.

The location really is the star here though. You’re literally steps away from everything worth seeing, but tucked onto a quieter stretch where you can actually have a conversation without shouting over traffic. I found myself grabbing coffee from this little place around the corner every morning – the kind of spot that’s clearly a neighborhood favorite, not some tourist markup joint. The whole area has that lived-in feel where real people actually go about their daily lives, which honestly makes it way more interesting than staying in some sterile hotel district. With an 8.8 rating, you know other people are picking up on what makes this place work too. It’s not fancy, but it’s smart, comfortable, and feels like you’re staying somewhere that actually matters to the neighborhood instead of just being dropped into it.

Reviews of M3 Main Square Studio

  • Vyacheslav from United States (9/10)

    The space and general condition of the building are excellent.

  • Pronina from Ukraine (9/10)

    The apartment is very cosy, spacious enough. Everything you need is provided, the kitchen is fully equipped. Generally, it looks nice and is comfortable.

  • Janet from United Kingdom (9/10)

    A perfectly comfortable and easy experience. Very happy with the room and location. No noise. Staff were quick to respond and resolve minor issues. The bed was super comfortable, the room warm and I had everything I needed for a few days. Only thing I wish it had was black-out shades on the window. I'm a light sleeper. When the sun rose, I woke up with the light – I couldn't enjoy the comfy bed for too long in the morning, unfortunately!

  • Lee-ann from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The location was excellent. Close to the main square but far enough away to provide a pleasant 5 min walk into town and explore a little! The room was clean and modern. The exposed brick ceiling decor was a nice feature. Entry is via keybox, which made check-in/out very easy. There appear to be around 5 apartments in the -1/basement floor all with the same landlord and l particularly liked that the apartments appear on Google, Uber, tour company websites etc so it's easy to get transport arranged when needed directly to the door.

  • Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The curved roof , nice bathroom , big bed

  • Steven from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Ideal location to centre. About 5min walk to get into square. Nice little apartment for all your needs.

  • David from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Loved this basement apartment especially the red brick curved ceiling. Everything I needed was supplied. Entry was by key code supplied by email. Quiet residential area about 8-12 minute walk from the main square.

  • Niamh from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Loved the interior and size of the apartment. Great shower and it was handy to have a fridge.

  • Iven from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Nice and cosy

  • Oleg from Ireland (9/10)

    Small but very comfortable apartment.
