excellent stay near everything

private bathroom parking permit communal kitchen helpful host

I had a double room with a private bathroom. the location was great for getting around. Everything was so close. rob was very accommodating and helpful, getting a parking permit arranged before i got there was useful. the communal kitchen with a fridge was convenient.

The stairs were somewhat steep. That presented a small challenge.

generally positive stay

convenient location short walk river view steep stairs car park inconvenient eating

location was really convenient. it was a short walk from the train station. the river view was also nice. i also liked the walking distance to town.

steep stairs were daunting after a day of walking. i felt my knee give out once. eating downstairs was inconvenient due to leg issues. i needed to go to the car park for food delivery.

some drawbacks overshadowed a good location

steep stairs noisy fridge

the location was indeed great, very close to the city centre.

the stairs were quite steep, a real challenge after a day of exploring (i almost fell once). also, the fridge in the room was rather noisy. it kept me awake several times during the night, and i found that quite annoying.
