Great place to meet people and a really good part of Chiang Mai, everything is so convenient, there's also a park near where people workout and do yoga in the morning. The owner is a great guy, very nice and helpful, the staff are lovely. I was lucky to meet some fellow travelers who turned out to be amazing people and made my stay in Chiang Mai more exciting.
