Could be good value if...

Liked: The room size, staff and location were all good.
Disliked: The refrigerator made a noise that sounded like a continuous loop of pigeons cooing. Some noise is expected in an older property but, the walking on the floor above could not be masked by the white noise on our mobile phone. You have to be able to sleep through anything in order to get a goodnight?s rest. We were on the first floor.The shower head kept sliding down and the resulting spray meant a wet bathroom floor after every use. You could tell that water from the shower is a recurring problem as the standing toilet paper holder and metal trash can were both pitted with rust marks.

little delights, warm

Liked: Good basic French coffee. Little touches in the room amenities, lighting, views, location.Staff willing to help out with keepiing luggage, taking online deliveries.

Enjoyed the Cheeseboard, Saul's restaurants...

Liked: staff at front office especially Natalie. There were also others like Kimberly and Bea
Disliked: Jose at the Bistro was a bit nasty. He needs to learn how to lower his voice. He seems to be yelling all the time to the customers of the bistro. He probably does not mean it, but maybe no one has complained to the fact that he is sounding like he is yelling at the customers?

This was our first time...

Liked: Location, price

Perfect low key place to...

Liked: Great location practically across the street from Chez Panisse and adjacent to upscale grocery store. You enter through the bakery; so expectations were not high; but we were very pleasantly surprised by the room. Very modern design, large comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, balcony with seating, mini fridge, microwave, desk, etc. Also nice amenities: including robe, umbrella, large flashlight, etc.
Disliked: Having to pay $8/day for parking at the Bank of America lot next door.
