really good stay near the cathedral

convenient access luxurious views cute spaces

the location offered convenient access across from the cathedral. the rooftop patio provided luxurious views. the upgraded room featured a balcony with views of the catedral. i found the large cute spaces quite elegant.

i experienced loud drilling noises due to ongoing work. i chose to spend most of the day outside to minimize the disturbance. the roof bar attracted many non-residents which often blocked elevator access.
