A Wonderful Stay!
This hotel was great. It’s located at the end of the main drag, which means when you arrive by train or bus, you get to enjoy a scenic walk through the charming town. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was clean and comfortable.

The apartment was nice and it was easy to get places. Note that you are not in the hotel and do not have hotel amenities. This is fine, I just did not realize it when booking.
