Both the owner (Steven) and the room manager (David) were amazing during our stay. David gave us great suggestions for attractions and restaurants. The view from the room was unbeatable

    This is not a hotel, but a room in a private home (direct access to the room trough a hallway). Location is very central, only a few minutes walk from the train station and all the action. This stretch of street is a residential, no shops and restaurants, hence its quiet at night. Room is exactly as pictured. Nice new bathroom, great shower too!
