Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No elevator, walk-up access — The guesthouse is on the third floor, and there's no lift, which may be challenging with heavy luggage or for those with mobility issues.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Not all rooms have private bathrooms, so you may need to share facilities depending on the room type booked.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a four-legged companion, this isn't the place — the property is strictly no-pets.
