You couldn’t ask for more. We enjoy the non traditional hotels and picked this one specifically for its charm. We were extremely pleased with the whole experience. Our room had a balcony with a view of the harbor. The staff was wonderful. The continental breakfast, delicious. The rooftop space is a perfect place to share a bottle of wine and watch the stars after exploring the city.

This is a charming small hotel close to beach, shops and restaurants. Very comfortable beds even the Murphy bed. Lovely view from our room. I enjoyed the craftsman styling. . No elevators so be prepared for stairs to rooms. Great courtyard for breakfast and relaxing as well as the garden roof top. Best of all were the helpful staff. Highly recommend.
