This is a gem. It is quaint and elegant, but has every wonderful contemporary amenity. So comfortable and an amazing staff. We enjoyed the restaurant. Great access to the cathedral and museums, can walk down to the river. Shop at the antique market or some sweet little shops downtown. Highly recommend.
