Fantastic Central Stay

The room had air conditioning, a HUGE plus. The shared kitchen provided free filtered water, very convenient during the hot days. I used the private garden, it was a LOVELY space for relaxation.
The bathroom door did not close properly, and it affected privacy. The mattress felt too soft.
