    Stacey was great, helped with local sites and instructions. The location is a short walk from city center and soooooo quiet. Super clean and spacious bathroom. Will stay again.

    Our hostess was very organized and welcoming and helpful. Loved the stay here. We were able to leave our bags there until our late night departure on the ferry which was so appreciated! Great breakfast!
