The accommodation is good. The check in was uncomplicated. The kitchen is well equipped. The rooms are also equipped with the essentials. However, the bed sheets were dirty. The cleanliness could be better.

Quaint guesthouse right near the harbor. We had a lovely view. There is a coffee shop on site for breakfast, and since located right in the town, walkable to restaurants, ferries and scenic hill. Note, we booked a room with private bath, should be updated on Travelocity that it’s actually just toilet/sink, all shower facilities are in the basement. Also, no front desk so you check yourself in to building and room, but felt safe.

Lovely place with a vintage vibe. Very clean and cozy. Our room was smaller than expected but worked just fine for just one overnight stay. Kitchen in the basement was a great addition. Would happily stay again for a short stay.
