Acceptable stay

restaurant suggestion delicious breakfast hard bed missing milk
The host gave us good suggestions for local restaurants. She even offered to make reservations, as places fill up quickly. The breakfast was delicious. I also appreciated the map and restaurant suggestions.
The bed was a little too hard for us. There was also no milk for the tea in the room. The only wastebin was in the bathroom.
