excellent escape in a charming spot

great locationcharming roomhistoric buildingold furniture
the location allows exploring local sites easily. i found my room to be exactly as i wanted. the old building had a certain charm to it. i thoroughly enjoyed my stay of three nights.
the furniture could be updated with nicer options. it seems a bit worn and does not provide the best comfort. also, there was a lack of hot water.

The kitchen had amazing accessories. I found everything I needed to make breakfast. I also liked the dining room. It had great space to have meals.
The room felt dated. The curtains did not close fully. I found this problematic because privacy was important. I had to use towels to cover the window gaps.
