filtered water friendly host good soundproofing
I found filtered water and kitchen access very helpful. The host was friendly and very accommodating. Soundproofing worked well, despite my room's proximity to the kitchen and dining room.
A small lamp in my room seemed unstable.

Perfect harbor getaway
harbor view service breakfast
Paul gave us a tour when we arrived. The building's front views feature the lovely harbor and sea. I also liked the self-service breakfast. We had access to the kitchen and dining room.
I did find that the street facing room got a bit noisy. It was hard to sleep at first.
