adequate stay, but some issues
faulty heating cold room
the location was convenient, close to restaurants.
The heating was a problem. It stopped working twice on a very cold day. the first time, the host assisted. the second time it stopped at 11 pm, and i was unable to reach anyone. the room became uncomfortably cold and i had to leave a message.
