Wonderful stay in a wonderful town

On the whole, I enjoyed my stay at this property. It is a traditional home in the historic neighborhood very close to the fortress. It was clean and ready for my slightly early check in. This was a winter visit and as so, the building didn’t fully heat up. As I’m not familiar with this construction, I’m not sure if an additional portable heater would have helped. Luckily additional blankets were available. The biggest challenge was with electrical outlets as the quantity and placement weren’t always where I needed them. That said, I would stay here again.
