harbor views and friendly faces

convenient locationspacious apartmentscarce outlet
The location IS very convenient for catching the ferry and exploring the town centre. The apartment was surprisingly spacious and offered wonderful views overlooking the harbor. i especially liked that free street parking was available right outside the guesthouse. It made coming and going very easy.
the building felt quite old. i noticed several light switches that did not seem to operate anything, and power outlets were somewhat scarce. Extension cables had been provided, but i still found myself needing to stand in odd places to use some appliances.

The Seashell Cafe is located inside the building. It offers lovely coffee and food. it provided a convenient option for quick snacks and drinks throughout the stay. i especially liked the friendly service.
