lovely stay
spacious room clean decoration friendly owner
the room was very spacious. it was also spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. the owners were friendly and very helpful (i really liked them).
the twin beds sagged quite a bit. it was difficult to sit straight on the toilet. the sink was also tiny.

small wardrobe no lift
The location was convenient being a short walk to the town center.
I found the lack of storage space inconvenient. The small wardrobe did not suffice for luggage. There was also no lift and carrying bags to the upper floors proved difficult.
