"In a very good yet quiet location. Excellent staff. We were made to feel extremely welcome and the proprietor gave us a map of the city and explained where everything of Interest could be found.

The bathroom was quite large and had a powerful shower. You may want to take your own toiletries though.
Good WiFi.
