Great location, a two minute walk from the top of the cable car. The room was very comfortable and quiet, and the bathroom is fantastic. Under floor heating, nice shower and great big bath! I could have just spent the night in the bathroom and been quite happy! Hosts were super nice, very chatty and hospitable, although I feel like they would leave you be if that is what you want. I would defo stay here again.
