It would be a lovely spot to sit in summer and watch the world go by.

Once again the rooms were quite small, with only enough room to walk around one side of the bed and a small space on the floor for your bags, but that was all we needed and the price was only $120 ish a night which also included a delicious light breakfast. ......
