Great location, very reasonable price. It was so close to all the harbour front boat trips and really great restaurants. The room was neat and clean. Responsive hosts. I would stay here again but try to get a higher room as the restaurant noise was a lot, not that Pension Bicaur can help that. The roof terrace was ideal for dinner. I didn't use the cooking facilities.

Better than expectations. Brigh, clean, airy. Friendly and helpful staff. Decor and architecture exceptional. Lovely roof terrace. Location right in the centre within a short walk from the train station, the island ferries, the central market, good restaurants and bars and a small supermarket.

Nice place with lovely rooftop terrace and very kind and helpful owner. Nice shared kitchen too. There is no parking but you can park nearby. The only issue for me was noise from the street next to the room. Maybe just because it was a Friday but there was live music until midnight so me and my young child could not aleep until it had finished.

I will say that arriving to the location was challenging with a car. The receptionist was too fast with directions to get our rental safely parked (nearby grocery store overnight). I realize she's been at the job awhile so it may seem quite simple for her. We did appreciate the apartment but the entry door, 3 flights up, is literally at the commune kitchen. Busy area with guests! The view on top terrace was the best asset.

Very lovely place, clean, pleasant, central and the terrace is a big, big win! Not a luxury experience but nice and cosy, hands down my best experience at this price point. Didn't get a chance to meet to the hosts but they were readily available by message. Would definitely recommend for solo travellrs/duos hoping to save but not compromise on comfort.
