Excellent stay

spacious room great owner convenient location
The room was spacious for me and my partner. The owner was great. He recommended activities and restaurants nearby. He proved very helpful, and I would return. The building has great original features. I appreciated the convenient location near many places.
I noticed some dirt around the taps in the bathroom sink. It had not been thoroughly cleaned. It seemed those rooms were reserved for regular guests.
Dining

The breakfast included jars of fresh fruit and yogurt. Guests can also enjoy cereal and orange juice. Toast is prepared fresh. The cooked breakfast requires a short wait.

Acceptable experience

dog friendly close proximity stairs problem garden access
The location was a GREAT plus. The host accommodated our little dog. The guest house sits very close to the beach.
The stairs were difficult. The hotel sits on a BANK, it's not ideal for everyone. The garden required leaving the hotel and climbing over A step.
