I felt welcomed upon arrival. The host provided me with a map and explained nearby points of interest. My room included toiletries, a hairdryer, a hand mirror, and tissues. There were extra blankets available. The breakfast offered cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, breads, jams, marmalade, tea, coffee, and juices.
The traffic noise was consistent. Parking was limited, a slight challenge.
