a decent stay.

lovely balconycomfortable bedloud noisewindow lock
the room was nice! we had a balcony, and it was lovely, the bed proved comfortable for my rest. french pressed coffee was available in the morning.
The room grew very noisy at night. it was close to a bar. The window did not lock and exacerbated the noise. i found stairs challenging.
