Our family of four had an excellent week here. We were in town for a conference at the convention center (which is a ten minute walk) and for general sightseeing, and the location was perfect. The street is pedestrian only (a novelty to us Americans), so although there is some noise at night, it is chatter and laughter, not traffic. Elizabeth left the kitchen stocked with necessities and treats, which was super-thoughtful. The beds were very comfortable. Having a kitchen and wash machine was excellent - allows for bargain and lightweight family travel. Minor difficulty- although the water pressure was excellent, the temperature of the water changed unpredictably while showering. We loved the place, thought it was an excellent value for our family, and would stay there again and recommend this place to friends.
