boutique bliss!

unique decor plated options helpful staff

I totally loved the decor. It was so fresh and unique. breakfast was a real treat.. especially the yummy plated options and that amazing coffee! the staff were very good, they were super helpful with everything we needed, from directions to local tips.

The sound insulation wasn't the best. I could hear street noise pretty clearly. a bit more soundproofing would make it even more perfect.
