convenient location parking voucher flexible check-in

the location is really convenient, only a short bus ride to the city center. the hosts offered parking vouchers for nearby streets. i also appreciated the flexibility with check-in, AS I was able to keep my bags there after checking out.

the shower temperature controls were a bit sensitive and difficult to adjust.
