“Amazing stay not far from the station”
The owner was a gem and fulfilled a special request above and beyond, provided maps and directions to points of interest and helped us with bags. The room was amazing (the sink threw us for a loop but was overall charming) Great amenities, the bed was comfy and cozy, without much squeeking
