superb accomodation

I found very clean lodgings here. The hosts prove very friendly and VERY cute. The location is only a few minutes walk from a tram stop, that makes it EASY to get around. There are many cafes and bars NEAR.
The mirror are a bit LOW. I am a tall person, so it wasn't the best EXPERIENCE.
