The location allowed easy access to transportation. I appreciated the bus stop near the hotel. Free parking was available which helped a lot. I found good instructions for check-in.
The telephone number listed did not connect me to anyone. I received a recording stating the owner was unavailable. A fridge in the room did not function. I needed to dispose of items because of this.

a good stay

beautiful roomample parkinghigh stairs
the room was beautiful and comfortable. i found the kitchen well stocked. its proximity to a bus stop offered easy access and i appreciated the ample car parking available.
i noted that room 6 is at the top of the house, requiring a climb of four flights of stairs. this may pose a challenge for some guests, especially those with heavy luggage.

the room was spacious and clean. a big comfortable bed was good after a long day. i also appreciated the ample car parking. the location was really convenient with the bus stop nearby.
the fridge in my room didn't work, so i had to throw away some food. i also tried to call the owner, but i couldn't reach her. the private bathroom was across the hallway, which wasn't ideal.
