This is the perfect place to stay close in, right on the square. Plenty of shopping for groceries and other necesities. It was also very close to the bus and train station and right above a taxi office and just on the local line taking you out to the beach. But easy walk to the marina, waterfront trail and beaches. Lots of pubs with music sessions within walking distance. Hard to make location any better. The place is clean, comfortable and quiet. It is an older building but the room is remodeled although sufficient funkiness to make it more enjoyable than some of the super modern spots. And nice price as well. There were a couple snafus with communication regarding check in that I stressed about and a question from me went unanswered for an unknown reason as other communication was spot on. All in all this is a great place.
