excellent STAY

clean roomeasy entrybreakfast service
the room was clean. i moved in immediately upon arrival. the apartment IS beautiful, and jack helped me with everything. i could enter the apartment with my own key, so entry was easy.
the breakfast service was not good. i made breakfast always outside at my OWN expense. i was informed, after complaint, the second day THAT breakfast was self service. i think the owner should have informed me before about THAT problem.
