AMAZING stay near Isola Bella

perfect location friendly staff
Location is top! It's ONLY a 5-minute walk to Isola Bella. The bus stop is right there, easy to go up to town. The staff is SO friendly. They speak REALLY good English and are REALLY accommodating. It just.
There WERE some noises at night. My room SEEMED to be close to a central drain, so I heard toilet flushes and water running all night. Street noise and loud music did not help much. This was not ideal.
