a decent stay

cute host convenient location good breakfast small room dated furniture difficult door

The hosts were cute. the location was good. I could walk into the city center easily. breakfast was also quite good (i especially liked the selection of cereals).

the room was a bit small. the furniture felt somewhat dated. i also found the bathroom door difficult to close properly.
