Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Steep, narrow stairs — The B&B sits above the wine bar, and access involves steep, narrow stairs – worth noting if you have heavy luggage or mobility concerns.
  • Adults-only policy — This property only accepts adults, so it's not suitable for families travelling with children.
  • Potential street noise — Located above a lively wine bar in the vibrant night district, some noise is possible, though one guest noted it wasn't bothersome and added to the atmosphere.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted at this property, a constraint for travellers with animals.
