Good value for money, friendly italian owners, good breakfast. Walking distance to the very center of SJ, small supermarket nearby. More

Breakfast was good. Was able to arrange pick up directly at airport. Nice art at the place. A plus was the pets, the dog Sheila and the cat, especially if you miss your own pets at home.
