Grateful for the Central Location

nice hostsfabulous roomcomfortable bedexcellent location
I found the hosts to be very nice and cute. The room provided was quite fabulous, including a comfortable bed for rest. The location worked well, not being directly in the city center's busy atmosphere, but still directly off the tram line. I will consider another stay here because the hotel met my needs very well.
The outside noise could get a little loud due to close proximity to trams. This is a very slight inconvenience, nothing major.
