Short walk to the city but there are open areas, cafes and shops close by too and the river. Exceptional views over the river. We were fortunate to see the sunrise and a spectacular sunset. Very warm welcome by host. Would definitely return when visiting family.

Do not recommend this property. Best feature is the view and walking distance to the city.
