"My stay at Chambre d’Amis by Alix, with Luca and Glen was by far the best experience I’ve had on my travels this year. They showed care and tenderness, genuinely were concerned about my comfort and enjoyment and were generous in their answers to my questions. The property is just gorgeous, a slice of heaven in a busy city. All of those factors combined made this stay feel like my home away from home. I highly recommend this property."
