    The location is very good. the interior designer of the apartment has very interesting solutions. Although there were some construction works at the moment, they did not disturb us and the owner was able to pleasantly surprise us.

    A great location for the old town. Well designed public areas. The hotel had a good atmosphere. It has a sensible balance between a boutique/designer type feel but being very practical and user friendly. Very friendly staff. Nice ground floor bar and breakfast room ( restaurant later on). Rooms are well designed. Reasonable sized bathroom. The breakfasts were very good with a bit of variety over the four days we were there.

    A lovely small boutique hotel right in the middle of the Casco viejo (old town). The rooms are nicely designed and filled with character. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The front door to the hotel opens right into the busy bustle of the old town but the windows are well glazed to keep the noise to a minimum once inside. There are many cafes and restaurants very near by. Great air con.
