The location overlooks the river. The proprietor organized parking permits in advance. I am grateful. There are several places nearby for breakfast. That is convenient.
The stairs to the first floor are quite steep. I noted that.

some drawbacks overshadowed a good location

great locationsteep stairsnoisy fridge
the location was indeed great, very close to the city centre.
the stairs were quite steep, a real challenge after a day of exploring (i almost fell once). also, the fridge in the room was rather noisy. it kept me awake several times during the night, and i found that quite annoying.
