a charming stay at a serene place

lovely decorrooftop areaitalian restaurant

i see beauty in decor. beds felt soft. the room has lovely decor. a cute rooftop area exists, that is useful for breakfast. i love, even if there isn't a restaurant, a good italian restaurant sits next door.

the street at the back feel a bit narrow with parked cars. uber xl cars might find it difficult to pass. it is only a minor inconvenience.
