excellent stay, immaculate and well-equipped!

clean fridge mini kitchen area

the room was so clean and bright (i loved it!). it also featured a great shower and toilet. i found a mini kitchen area with a nice clean fridge, microwave, toaster, and kettle. plates, cups, glasses, and supplies got replenished every day!

the only slight issue was hearing some noise from the host upstairs. it wasn't a major problem, but a little soundproofing could improve things.
