Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything from location to the unique container, was fantastic. Everything was very clean and and I loved the "Patio" on top of the roof. Having coffee up there in the morning was very peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and will hopefully be able to experience it again.
