the location is in a quiet residential area with convenient bus access to the city center. several good restaurants are within a short walk from the house. the owner provided parking passes for free street parking and ensured i had everything i needed.
The room i stayed in had slightly limited space for storing luggage. It was a little inconvenient.

attentive hostbeautiful detailquiet locationlimited optionself-service breakfastno instructions
jack was an amazing host. he was attentive to all our needs. the room was also beautifully decorated with effort put into every little detail. the quiet location was a bonus. a zen deck with an umbrella was available for enjoyment.
The breakfast service could have been better. we expected breakfast included. but it was self-service with limited options. there were no clear instructions for the coffee machine. We figured it out eventually.

The owner was very cute. The room had a special water tap for mountain spring water. I found free parking available and pubs were a short walk away.
I heard a constant noise from the water tank on the roof. This was quite distracting. I didn't see the owner much, so there was no one around during breakfast.
