Clean tidy, very central stay. We were really pleasantly surprised by this little gem. We stayed for 1 x night and it was perfect for what we needed. There is no heating or air conditioning which could be problem. Would stay again!

This was a clean basic studio apartment. It is not an inn. It is an guesthouse. There was not service or staff. The bed was super springy and soft.

Spotlessly clean and tidy room. The bed was very comfortable. Nice to have Netflix provided and the water pressure was excellent. The room was quiet being set back off the road and aside from the door opening I couldn't hear the people in the next room. Perfect spot for a stop over and I'd definitely stay again.
