Acceptable Stay, Problems Existed.

advantageous locationsingle bedswooden floor
The location proved advantageous. It was quite close to bus stop 13.
The room was not great. Two single beds were pushed together. These beds moved too easily on the wooden floor. I used towels to try and stop them.

Acceptable But Flawed Stay

cute stafflimited shelf spaceuncomfortable temperature
The staff was cute and communicative .
The room I booked had some issues. It lacked space for luggage. There were also no blinds, so the midnight sun lit the room all night. The room felt uncomfortably warm, even with the window open.
