    Cozy, spacious, light-filled, clean room. Breakfast and service was exceptional. Hard time controlling room temperature. Our skylight windows weren’t able to be opened. The toilet made an extremely loud sound after flushing.

    It is the prettiest old house on the busy main street, yet street parking for free nearby is not a problem----at least in this season. The bar and restaurant downstairs is good. The ice cream parlor 20 meters away is also good.
