8/10 Very Good! (73 reviews)

This accommodation had a great location, central and close to great restaurants and sight seeing. The staff & service was excellent. I did not have the breakfast so I can't speak to that. The room quality was average. Needs an update/refresh. Street noise was very loud on busy street and difficult to sleep soundly.

8.4/10 Very Good! (7 reviews)

It was a beautiful area, near the beach and cable car which takes you up to the city. The only issue I had was the mattress was really overly firm for my liking, but that was my preference. The breakfast was wonderful and sitting on the veranda and looking over the water completed the visit.
