We went for a double room with private bathroom and it was one of the cleanest places we ever stayed and everything was well organized. The kitchen is huge and very very clean, it is true we didn’t saw a lot of people using but there was a couple. Staff was helpful and show some places to visit nearby and some to eat and have a beer. Totally recommended!
