Julia checked me in. She was very friendly! The team running the place seemed close knit. The cafe was super busy during breakfast. It definitely seemed like a popular place!
The Wi-Fi signal was a bit weak. I had some minor trouble connecting at first.

adequate stay with some issues

small bathroomthin walls
The room i had was quite small, especially the bathroom. there wasn't much space to move around (i kept bumping into things, honestly). also, the walls seemed really thin. I could hear a lot of noise from other rooms. it wasn't the most peaceful experience (i needed earplugs).
