Very good location, nice restaurants and shops near, the staff was very nice and polite. The room (on the ground floor) was very quiet and the bed very comfortable. Also it had a small terrace, but I didn't use it because of the cold weather. The rooftop is also nice for some quiet moments and for taking few photos. Thank you!
