Wrong address

The address in Hotels.com was incorrect. Since this a flat/room, there is no sign on the building indicating this was the correct place. Fortunately the phone number for the owner was correct and we got to where we needed to be. Other than that hiccup, the landlord was sweet, the room clean, location within walking distance of most of the sites.
