Underwhelming experience
limited breakfast lacking greeting
The location proved convenient.
The greeting upon arrival felt lacking. I discovered the sitting room only on my last day as no one mentioned it and bins weren't emptied. The host said it was posted online. this was not helpful. Breakfast options seemed quite limited too.

poor greeting unstable wi-fi
breakfast had a laid back atmosphere.
The greeting wasn't great, and i wasn't shown the sitting room. I only found it the day before leaving. the host claimed it was posted online. wi-fi was advertised as free, but it was impossible to maintain a connection. The host seemed uninterested and claimed he hadn't heard of that issue before.
