Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

8/10 Good

"It has the feel of a charming old dorm or hostel with lots of nooks and crannies and a beautifulcommon kitchen. Pleasant indoor/outdoor seating spaces. Close to LOTS to see and eat. Only loses a star because the parking was very tight, and litterly down, around the corner, and under the building - not so easy in/out of. I would STILL stay here again!"
