the host was very cute and helped me settle in. the italian restaurant impressed me with really good food and helpful staff. i found the location perfect for my needs, because it was easy to get to.
i noticed that the mattresses are outdated. the toilet also dripped, a bit annoying. the shower temperature seemed to be stuck on hot, so adjusting it was impossible.
