This location is excellent if you want to walk to sightseeing locations within a mile or so. The Aviva stadium is an easy walk through safe neighborhoods. The included breakfast was great and included eggs. I would stay here again.

Upscale neighborhood, close to restaurants
Nice B&B with very helpful staff and free parking in upscale neighborhood. Many good restaurants a 5 min walk away. Walk into city center in 15 to 20 minutes. Breakfast was excellent with eggs, fruit, toast, sausage, bacon and more. Rooms are not fancy, but bed was comfy. I'd stay again.
