Convenient and Comfortable Stay

superb location great coffee

The location is superb. Everything felt accessible. Breakfast offered great coffee (just what I needed!).

The room cleaning was by request only, something I found out later (it wasn't clear upon arrival). I think, guests should be informed about it in advance.
