The location was very quiet. i appreciated the easy check-in process. the views were lovely, though i wish i had more time to fully take them in. a minor issue with the heater was resolved quickly. The host helped within minutes.
the exterior looked a bit run down. my room felt quite basic and needed some updating. the tv was very small. the plastic cups in the bathroom also looked a bit dirty.

The tv was quite small , and the picture quality was not great. i found the selection of channels to be limited too. the room was clean , but the bathroom could use some updating . The fixtures looked a bit worn. i also noticed some stains on the carpet , which detracted from the overall impression.
