Fair place

Hi, i think it is very fair quality/price offer. Yeah, you could find much more luxuries guesthouses/B&B, but they would be a lot pricier.

Room 106 under the stairs, terrible

Don't take room 106 unless you want to renact the under the stairs scene on Harry Potter. The room is under the main entrance and the reception. You can hear every footstep and voice

Upscale neighborhood, close to restaurants

Nice B&B with very helpful staff and free parking in upscale neighborhood. Many good restaurants a 5 min walk away. Walk into city center in 15 to 20 minutes. Breakfast was excellent with eggs, fruit, toast, sausage, bacon and more. Rooms are not fancy, but bed was comfy. I'd stay again.
