a nice stay

plush carpetcomfortable bedmodern design
I found the bedroom gorgeous with its plush carpet! the bed provided ultimate comfort, i rested well. the bathroom offered a modern design with a fantastic shower. I loved the fluffy towels. the owners furnished the venue beautifully, respecting the building's character.
the teacups, although beautiful, felt a little too delicate to use practically.
