Great location but not best for all ages
One of bedrooms upstairs was furnished as an office and did not include a daybed or anything to allow its use as sleeping space. The steps are very steep and no upstairs bath so requires going down steps possibly during night.Not optimal for very old or very young. No microwave so unable to sterilize bottles for infant. Very limited soap etc. For this price 300/night with all fees.
