Loved by guests
"The best part of our stay was the balcony! Great place to chill with a glass of wine and watch the world go by and also had a side sea view."
"Fresh decoration and interesting artwork on the walls - faultless!"
"The parking permits they provide were a life saver for us as the pay by phone street parking app did not work in combination with our Belgian banking app."
