fantastic stay!

great locationsmooth parkingcozy roompolite host
The location proved great. I easily found it even after dark. off-street parking access was smooth and simple. my room felt cozy and cute, not cramped. the en suite was fantastic, and i really liked having a tv, hairdryer. i was also given the wifi password right away! the host greeted me with such politeness! also i could see the beautiful garden in the morning.
I noticed some slight superficial uncleanliness in my room. A more thorough deep clean would greatly help.
