We're partial to this large, very comfortable B'n'B inn right in the heart of Old Town, whose charming airy rooms boast exposed brick walls, brass beds,  lacey trim and large marble bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs. Two-bedded doubles will sleep four, plus there's room to spare for a rollaway.  The staff is super-helpful and gracious; the fresh croissants and hearty cooked breakfasts send everyone in the family out sightseeing with a good start to the day.  And , the excellent restaurant is wonderful for dinner.
