Beautiful building, very comfortable bed, generous breakfast.

Hot water ran out on the second morning, though it was fixed within the hour.

Charming, if you can manage stairs
- Business trip
- Stayed 2 to 4 nights
- Couple
The room under the eaves is the best in the building and the courtyard is a delight.

Steep stairs and no lift, as they do warn you.
