"Good central, budget option, very popular and with eight small and modestly appointed en-suite rooms."
"Lacking the immediate street appeal you might expect from a homestead built in 1874, this B&B in the center of the city slowly reveals its treasure as you walk through its dark wood-paneled entrance." Full review

"Very friendly place with only thirty beds, some in an annexe at the back of the house; all are well kept, quiet and clean."
"This old place is reminiscent of a big shared house, with a grungy ambience that is matched by prices that are cheaper than most" Full review
