cozy stay near the city

comfy bedfree parkinghanging wires
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.
i noticed wires hanging down from the ceiling in my room, which didn't look great. a red throw had mattered bits all over it. the room looked quite dirty in general.

the room had a king-size bed and fresh towels were provided, but i did notice some cracks on the walls. the decor seemed a little dated but clean. i appreciated the ample space for luggage.

A Cosy Retreat

mini fridgehandy busdirty shower
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.
