Great location and lots of charm. A warning for those who are less than steady getting in and out of a bathtub: our room had a shower over a tub with unusually high sides. The lack of hand grips made it challenging for a short person to get in and out safely. Other than that idiosyncrasy, all was fine with our stay.
