I found free parking a true gift I enjoyed the cozy room with a park view across the street. Check-in was smooth I appreciated the warm welcome. I really enjoyed that the guesthouse was a short walk from the marina. It was very convenient
The absence of blackout curtains allowed light to filter into the room early in the morning I found this slightly disruptive to my sleep
