The location provided easy access to many areas. I found restaurants close to the fish market. The staff seemed helpful and friendly. Breakfast on the balcony with a view of the city was a treat. I enjoyed the variety of food and the coffee.
The noise from the street at night was bothersome. The shower water pressure was also quite weak, with only a small stream. I found the windows lacked sufficient soundproofing.
