“The setting is particularly charming, a quiet harbor haven close to the city's pulse. I appreciate the personal touch, with the host's warmth setting a welcoming tone. Breakfast here feels special, prepared and served with care, adding to the overall experience. It's worth noting that while cozy, some may find the soundproofing a bit light.”
