small roomwet floor
The budget room I booked was smaller than I anticipated. There was just a bed in it. I needed to put my belongings on the floor because of the lack of space. The bathroom sink was also too small. Water splashed everywhere when I tried to wash my face. This made the floor quite wet, not ideal

The room provided both a bath and a shower. A communal table allowed guests to chat and get to know each other. The host Karen is cute and friendly. Karen is knowledgeable about places to visit in the immediate area.
