Great stay. Definitely recommend. The vibe, location, and staff were amazing. Went on a mother-daughter trip and it was just right. The place is on a hill but there are great cafes nearby and everything’s only about a 15-minute walk away. Good value for the price. Basic but really that’s all you need for a city break.
