Wonderful view from the rooftop terrace, comfortable bed, great breakfast and lovely neighborhood! We really enjoyed the service from the staff and the chats with Snezana. We had a late afternoon flight, and we were able to leave our luggage at the accommodation and go out to explore. We really appreciated that. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!
