the hosts were super cute. my room included a fridge kettle microwave table and chair. the bed was huge and really comfy and a wardrobe was available. i also found free street parking which was awesome.

adequate but with issues

damp smelling room mould growth
the hosts were lovely and helpful.
The room smelled of damp and displayed mould on the wall. a sink was absent. I had to request tap water from the kitchen. only one bathroom served all rooms, and its cleanliness suffered from shared use.

the room included an iron, a kettle, a fridge, a microwave. a table and chair. the bed felt huge and comfy, and there was also a wardrobe (very helpful for my longer stay). free street parking was a definite bonus. the price seemed very fair.

A Cosy Retreat

mini fridge handy bus
The hosts greeted me warmly, and I found a microwave plus a mini fridge in my room. I thought the facilities were clean. I enjoyed borrowing DVDs from the lounge library and the bus stop just outside proved very handy.
I noticed the shower head did not stay upright on the holder, and the shower needed extra attention. I did mention it at checkout though.
