"The hotel is just across from the airport. I like how the owner and his wife make the room especially cozy, and the breakfast fruit is plentiful to surprise. Just order dinner in advance, otherwise there is nothing to eat. Anyway, you want to rent a car to live in this city. It takes half an hour to drive wherever you go. It is quiet and clean if you are on vacation."
