Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Standard check-in is between 11:30 and 20:00, so late arrivals need to arrange ahead with the host, as one guest did.
  • Metro service ends early during construction — The nearby metro line stops running at 9pm due to construction work, so night-time travel may require other options.
  • Small property, limited scale — As a small B&B, facilities are intimate, and there is no mention of parking or a full restaurant – breakfast is self-service.

“Good location. Barbara stayed up to welcome us even though we arrived at 8:30pm (check-in is officially until 7pm), and she gave us a great tip for a walk – we happened to bump into the Pope that same evening, an unexpected but very positive highlight.”

9.1Verified guest

“The owner Barbara was really friendly and the breakfast was great, with free access to a Nespresso machine all day. The location was fine, but note that the metro to this area stops running at 9pm because of construction work.”
