well decorated room comfortable room shared kitchen
the room was well decorated and very comfortable. the shared kitchen area was also good. we appreciated having a washing machine and dryer (a great convenience for travelers!).
the listing suggests that the bathroom is part of the room so it's a misrepresentation.
