charming stay near the city
warm welcome large room clean bathroom
The host greeted me warmly upon my arrival. the room was quite large and the bed offered great comfort. i found the bathroom clean. It seemed recently renovated too.
The bus stop being so close meant i could hear the coming and going of buses early in the morning. It was a little distracting.
