The room was super clean and fresh. The host took my bags to the room. A fine huge shower and beautiful bathroom were available. The bed was comfy. Tea coffee and biscuits were provided. I barely heard a sound from the restaurant below.

Just ok stay

quiet locationsmall roomno bedside table
The location was quiet. (a plus)
The room was really small. There was no place to hang clothes. I also had no bedside table. It was difficult, and the bathroom was too tight to get in and out of because of the bed. I think the cost didn't reflect the small size of the room.
