thin walls tiny sink
i didn't love that the sink in the beautiful double or twin room was tiny. it was hard to wash my face without splashing water everywhere. also, the walls seemed quite thin.. i could hear the tv from the next room, not ideal when trying to sleep. i'm not sure how they could fix that, but it was a bit annoying. i guess i should've brought earplugs.

comfortable beds tea coffee en suite high price
The room was very clean and included comfortable beds. The owners provided a tea and coffee tray that had instant oatmeal. CHECK in was easy and email communication from owners BEFORE my stay was very good!
I hadn't realised the room didn't have en suite shower and toilet. The price seemed extortionate for the room to me. That WAS clearly not atypical for that night.

excellent location and super clean room

stylish room cozy space extra amenities
the room was newly decorated. it felt stylish and cozy. i was very surprised to find a dressing gown and slippers in the room. the room included all the usual things (like toiletries and towels).
the traffic in front of the house can get quite busy around lunchtime.

the location is great as there is a bus stop right around the corner. it takes approximately ten minutes by bus to get to the city center. walking takes around twenty-five minutes.

missing elevator limited breakfast
the location was convenient to bus routes and it was easy to get around the area.
The absence of an elevator made hauling luggage to the upper floors quite difficult. i also found the limited breakfast options disappointing. A wider variety would greatly improve the experience. the noise from the street was noticeable at times and it disrupted my sleep somewhat. i had hoped for quieter surroundings.
