Wonderful City Stay!

John provided a helpful guide with detailed dining and transport information, a thoughtful touch. The housekeeper located a forgotten item after our departure. That was much appreciated! Our room offered great cleanliness. I also found the organized accommodation very convenient, since it included all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
The parking situation required a bit of maneuvering due to the city's layout, though the provided parking tickets were a great help.

i found the location convenient. a pub was located nearby (it was quite handy). the hosts were always available to ensure my stay was comfortable. they made sure i got a room on the ground floor since i had heavy luggage.
i stayed with a group of five people for two nights. the bathroom was listed as private, but it was not. it also lacked ventilation. the rooms seemed quite filthy.
