Wonderful
Pros:

The host was exceptional. Took our luggage up stairs for us

Cons:

I would have liked a two bedroom room downstairs as I had my aging dad with me who got a bit breathless going up the stairs.
An elevator would be perfect.

Good location, bad place to sleep.
Pros:

Central location was good.

Cons:

If you want to sleep in sauna this is the place, the boiler was on constantly on and we ended up sleeping above the blankets and still were very sweaty.
