"Location was perfect. We absolutly loved being in such a historic area. Amazing stores/shops/food all over the place. We were not prepared for the hills and steps but had a great time. Great communication with the owner. We were able to check in a little early after an early morning flight. House layout is a little odd (but expected for an older place like this). Main floor has 2 bedrooms, living room and the only (very small) bathroom while kitchen and master bed are upstairs. We had 5 adults...
