The host was very cute to me. The rooms were super clean and cozy with cute decor. The beds were also very comfy. Breakfast had freshly baked bread, so that was delicious.
The stairs were spiral and tricky for me. The bathroom was inconvenient and awkward as it lacked a proper showering facility. The bedroom ceiling was sloped and lacking headspace.
