The breakfast was really good! i especially liked the cooked options available. the location was also very convenient. It was just a short walk to the town center and all the attractions.
My biggest issue was the wifi. It was very patchy in the room. also, i found only one chair in the beautiful double room. i thought there should have been two chairs.

The breakfast was excellent. the location is close to the center. It made getting around so easy! the host was also very kind. i especially loved the parking facility. It was so convenient!
The shower was disgusting. I was really disappointed. two spotlights weren't working, hard to see the cleanliness. the shower head even had some brown slimy scum coming from the holes. It wasn't a great experience.

The breakfast was acceptable. I had no issues.
The bathroom needed better attention. The shower head had some brown slimy scum coming out of it, quite disgusting and off-putting, then the water ran cold.
