Quaint guesthouse right near the harbor. We had a lovely view. There is a coffee shop on site for breakfast, and since located right in the town, walkable to restaurants, ferries and scenic hill. Note, we booked a room with private bath, should be updated on Travelocity that it’s actually just toilet/sink, all shower facilities are in the basement. Also, no front desk so you check yourself in to building and room, but felt safe.
