Acceptable Stay With a Few Drawbacks
dated decorthin curtains
The decor felt quite dated. I was also told not to adjust the radiators, because it might cause noise throughout the house which was inconvenient. The curtains were thin, letting in a lot of light from the street outside. I could hear the owner snoring upstairs. the experience was disappointing.
