Location was great. One block off a street with good restaurants and bakeries to choose from. We could walk to the University and Botanical Gardens, but a lot of steep hills to get there.

Very nice & comfortable interior. Welcoming gift and slippers were very sweet. Excellent lighting inside. Art and little touches in decorating were charming. The Courtyard below exhibited the vibrancy of the area.Shopping was excellent and restaurants/coffee shops were close and yummy!
