generally positive stay overall

attentive host central location lovely breakfast parking issue small bedroom inconvenient steps
i found the breakfast to be lovely. the hosts were very attentive to our needs. i particularly appreciated feeling comfortable and safe as a solo traveler. the location is central which was convenient for walking around.
parking presented a slight challenge . my bedroom was somewhat small for my liking. navigating three tiers of steps proved a bit inconvenient with luggage.
