This was the best B&B experience I had in Europe.(I actually did not stay in many, we were looking for a cheap hotel a friend of mine who lived there found this place for us). It is a great location, just minutes to everything useful and the lively night life (just one street, or 2 minutes away from the hustle.) The owner is somebody like you and me, well educated young woman who offers opinion and friendliness without being on your face. She speaks excellent English. Rooms are very clean, you eat breakfast in her living room next door. So this is really a B & B. The owner uses her own house, she is not letting other people to run the place by others (than that becomes a hotel). I learned this in Italy. Apparently you really need to be living there yourself to call it B & B. First I did not understand why she insisted on knowing when we arrived and got irritated, then I realized that this is her home and she cannot sit at home and wait for people whole day who say they will arrive at 1 pm and arrives in the evening. She goes out to shop etc. I would get mad if people kept me waiting several hours. After learning that my irritation went over. That put me of from having a romantic idea of one day perhaps having my own B & B because it feels quite fun to do such a thing.
I could imagine a bit richer breakfast. It was good but very basic. I found the towels (or big cotton clothes/wraps) a bit strange. It seems this is an Italian thing because I got the same thing in Silvia Hotel in Bari nearby the railway station. In the summer towels feels thick for them but I prefer towels. I asked her if I could have a real towel and got one. The shower is a bit little as well but everything is tile. If you are used to staying in Motel 6 and other clean but not expensive North American places you know what I mean. Tiles feel so much cleaner and you do not feel bad touching the things in the bathroom.
I wanted to write this long time. Now my friends drove all the way from Germany and they wrote back thanking me. So I better do my part. We stayed in the small room just to the left of their door, I have not seen inside the other ones. I am not sure if they had them when we were there. They also had two small bikes inside the room but we did not use them. There was small TV but I could not find an English or German speaking channels. I have
