8/10 Good
"The location is amazing, a few minutes walking distance from the harbor, tons of restaurants nearby. My room is spacious and clean. The air conditioner works well. The only thing I would remind is that if you carry heavy luggage you should think about twice before your booking. You need to climb a steep stairs(more than 10 steps) before you arrive at your room, and you should not expect to get any help even there is some staff on site."
