Great intimate hotel with a nice vibe and perfect location for walking. Restaurant was outstanding, staff was very helpful and friendly. My only concern was that there were not really any places dedicated to put suitcases in the room. We had to put them on the floor which was a bit inconvenient, but would not stop me from staying there again - a minor inconvenience.
