Nice place near tram and local pub
Everything was fine for two couples. Figuring out the hot water and heat was a bit confusing but we figured it out. Guys enjoyed the local pub a couple times. No tourists around at all but tram is great.

The property was very nice. Being American some of the utilities worked differently than we were used to, but Stuart was very quick to answer all of our questions and make our stay pleasant. We were very close to many restaurants and shops but the neighborhood is old.
