I loved the nostalgic character of the building. Everything was comfortable, the bed was amazing!! It was nice to come back to my room to just relax after spending time with a sick relative. Very close to the supermarket and delicious cafes. The couple who manage the lodge were incredibly accommodating, helpful and sincere. My only issue was that the walls in the courtyard rooms are a bit thin so I could hear my neighbors TV and talking. But nothing that a couple of ear plugs couldnt fix ( I am a light sleeper) otherwise everything was nice, quiet and comfortable. Thank you for a pleasant stay
