The only problem was that the jacuzzi was booked the entire weekend and we were not able to use it which sucks. After that was the main reason to book the hotel. None of the spa services were available because over booked. They should alert when you make the reservation.

This B&B is an apartment in a 6- or 8-story building. When you book a room, you are booking a bedroom within this apartment. We had a room with a bathroom in the room but I don't think all have that. The room is very small and there is not a lot of storage solutions so we didn't have enough space to unpack both of our suitcases. The bathroom is also tiny, you can definitely see through the opaque door, and the water temperature during the shower varied. We had a balcony that overlooked the courtyard and there is a balcony in the dining room that has a view of the city. The breakfast was lots of various pastries that were available throughout our stay and a few fresh ones were brought in each morning. The location is pretty convenient, about 15-20 minute walk to most points of interest. Toni was very helpful and quick to respond.
