Pros:

L' emplacement est très bien placé dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de parking réservé mais on trouve à ce garer facilement. Ambiance intime et chaleureux comme à la maison. Le personnel et les propriétaires sont des plus disponibles et prévoyant. Le petit déjeuner est complet nous avons aimé le gâteau aux myrtilles fait maison.
Si nous devions faire un petit reproche les chambres ne sont pas préservées du bruit des voisins.

Cons:

Très sympa, très agréable, je recommande
Pros:

Emplacement facile d'accès pour les UBER, en revanche à 8/10 minutes de la station de metro. Le confort de la literie, du canapé, l'espace de l'appartement. Chaque chambre est équipée d'une salle de bains et d'un toilette.
