Second time and will come back again!
Pros:

Great location with an excellent view. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

The room offered great value for money at a very reasonable price. When we arrived, the lights were already on and the room was set to a comfortable temperature, which made us feel warmly welcomed from the moment we walked in.

Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended!

Cons:

Nothing to complain.
