Pros:

I'd asked for a quiet room, and they were able to give me one facing the courtyard, so street noise was just barely audible. Nice walkable neighborhood.

Ottimo soggiorno
Pros:

Tutto ok, posizione, qualità della struttura, staff.
Unica pecca: la camera rifatta ogni due giorni (teoricamente), e solo 2 volte in una settimana (in realtà)

Cons:

La gestione del rifacimento delle camere andrebbe razionalizzata
