We came with five children 12 and under and they had a ball. Even grandma was able to get up and down the narrow stairs (but she is Basque -- so what do u expect). It was an experience that they will remember forever. The quarters are not luxurious (if that is your expectation), but the adventure makes the stay memorable. Our hostess was fantastic. She is studying for her PhD in Art History and always welcomed us with a smile.
