The hosts were very friendly and helpful. breakfast was good. Everything was very well thought out. a fridge was available for my use if needed. the location was easy to find. There was parking availability. It was easy to get to the city centre, whether walking or driving.
I found the house quite dated, including the equipment, like the lights and lampshades. it was noisy. The floorboards creaked. the bedding also creaked and was not comfortable.
