Perfekte Innenstadtlage, ruhig, es gäbe sogar eine Rooftopbar...
Pros:

Großzügiges Zimmer, Balkon, man ist mitten im Zentrum und hat dennoch Ruhe. Wunderbares Frühstück im Schatten, die ersten Flanierenden in der Herrengasse erzeugen Urlaubsstimmung und animieren, es selbst zu tun.

Cons:

Mir hat alles gefallen, ich habe nur einen kleinen Optimierungsvorschlag: Einen Vergrößerungsspiegel im Bad.
