7.6Verified guest“Fantastic stay – the Wi-Fi was excellent and the owners clearly cared, as everything was spotless and well-maintained. Perfect for tourists with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The small kitchen was handy and the bathrooms even had shampoo, body wash, and a toothpaste dispenser. A thoughtful sitting area with a phone charger was a nice touch. I’d highly recommend it.”
