I had a fantastic stay at Guest And The City, with David and Eric as amazing hosts who made me feel very welcome. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and Brighton Pier, plus the room was cozy and clean. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring fresh ingredients and delicious options. However, I did notice that the noise from nearby bars was a bit distracting at times.
