the owner was very helpful and friendly. the location is definitely convenient, close to the station. the room was also kept very clean (a plus for me).

the small bathroom was a bit inconvenient. the sink placement made using the toilet a bit awkward. i hope they consider rearranging the space to improve comfort.

Fantastic Stay Steps from the Beach!

warm welcome convenient location clean room available amenities

Richard and Anna gave a warm welcome. I appreciated their assistance with my luggage, especially since my room was on the first floor. They recommended a great café nearby, and the location, a short walk from the train station, was so convenient. The room was clean, and I found all the amenities available, a plus. I plan to return for future visits!

The Wi-Fi signal was weak in some areas of the room, but it wasn't a significant issue.

Excellent Stay Near the Beach

great location accommodating staff well-stocked room

The location is GREAT. It's a short walk to the train station and the beach. The staff accommodated my request to leave bags after checkout, it allowed me to enjoy my final afternoon. The room was clean and well-stocked with everything i needed.

The initial entry was a little dark because the lights weren't on in the staircase.
