très bonne nuit dans un quartier accessible et tout le monde très sympathique
Pros:

le décor est très joli, très serein
les chambres bien joliment préparées
la salle de bain très bien
ascenseur pour le 3e étage

Cons:

j'ai tout apprécié,
j'aurai adoré une petite bouilloire pour boire une tisane ou alors une fontaine d'eau chaude ;-)
et quelque étagère pour poser la trousse de toilettes mais rien de grave du tout
