Brilliant central location, within easy walking distance to most activities in downtown. Loads of close restaurants and local shops and bakeries right outside. Great service upon arrival, with complimentary champagne and a voucher for a free appetizer at local restaurants. Dog friendly accommodation, which was a big plus for us.
