“The owners, Antonio and his wife, were incredibly generous and kind. They went above and beyond to meet our needs and made us feel at home. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the view from the room was breathtaking. I especially liked the small kitchen and the coffee. I highly recommend this place. The only downside was that everything was great!”
