We arrived at the Blackberry via Taxi and Barbara, the manager, was waiting outside the door for us. From outside the massive door, I wondered what awaited us, but just inside, a beautiful spacious courtyard spanned the center of the building with colorful flowers and greenery. This was our first pleasant surprise.
We went up several floors via the stairs. There is an elevator, but we didn't use it. Inside the next door, several more surprises were to be found. The room was spacious and clean. The bed comfortable. A computer with internet connection available to guests was located in the hall. All in all, it was a nice, pleasant place.
Best of all was Barbara. Although she couldn't speak a lot of English, we were able to communicate quite well. She instructed us in the use of the Metro and gave us other helpful hints. She is very friendly and kind.
We stayed two nights and both mornings, a huge breakfast was laid out in the hallway. Some items were available all day, such as coffee.
Although the rooms are not en-suite, there are two bathrooms, one small and one large which are shared among the rooms. They are kept clean and tidy. It was very quiet there at night.
The B&B is very close to the Metro, so if you intend to use it a lot during your stay, this is definitely a plus for staying at the Blackberry. This part of the city is not my favorite so that was the only drawback to staying at this location.
