friendly host convenient location essential amenities missing breakfast small bathroom limited comfort

the host was so friendly and cute! the room i got, a single room, had everything i needed. it was also a short walk to the town center (super convenient).

i didn't see any indication breakfast wasn't included (maybe i missed it?). the bathroom cabin felt too small. bed comfort was limited too.

Acceptable, but some issues with the room

The location was quite convenient, just a short walk to the train station, supermarket, town centre and harbour.

The bathroom was REALLY small (a bit claustrophobic, actually). I found myself practically nose-to-nose with the sink while using the toilet. It was not the best experience.

the bathroom was quite small. i found the toilet positioned very close to the sink. the bed was not as comfortable as i expected.
