The shower

Too far from all the main attractions Very old Not a beautiful victorian house. Not even the decor. The carpet was so old. I feel I didn’t get the value for the money i paid.

The Valentine was a delight. The renovations to the space have modernized it nicely without losing the charm of the building. Yes, the bathroom to our room was out in the hall as other reviews have noted, but that fact was clearly identified in the booking and upon check-in, and wasn't an inconvenience. The townhouse is close to great food and the Old Town without feeling touristy or overcrowded. The staff were lovely, making sure we had our bearings in the city.
