Many restaurants and shops nearby, perfect location. Super friendly staff. Spacious room with kitchenette, great shower. Nothing bad to say except maybe some noise from church bell across the street (we were at the front and right across from it), but slept through it so no big issue. Highly recommend.

An amazing stay with great views of the city from the hot tub. We loved how close the home was to the city without feeling like we were in a too crowded place.
