perfect locationhelpful staff

i was very grateful for the perfect location next to the iconic cathedral. breakfast offered a good variety of options each morning and i found the staff very cute and helpful (especially when i needed directions).

It was a tight squeeze with luggage. this made getting to my room a bit challenging, particularly after a long day of sightseeing.

it was so small, only one person and MAYBE a small bag could fit. then, the standard double room i got was not very clean. the floor looked like no one swept ANY dust, and i am PRETTY sure the linens had some stains.
