Matt gave us such a friendly welcome. On arrival. he gave details about the area, and i thought that was very helpful! the location is pretty central, very close to the centre, made walking convenient for us. i would definitely stay here again when i visit. I loved this place.
the pillows seemed hard to me. that might be preference, i think? maybe the room is waiting to be refurbished, or so it seemed.
