uneven STAY, some ISSUES

small roomlukewarm water
The room was SMALL, with barely Enough space to move around comfortably. i Also found the lack of proper soundproofing quite bothersome. I could hear every footstep and conversation from the room above, difficult to relax. the bathroom was old, and the shower only produced lukewarm water.

the room was super clean. a fitted kitchen includes appliances for anyone wanting to cook. i received a warm welcome.
there was no exterior lighting illuminating walkways at the back. it forced me to use my cellphone flashlight. there were no hooks for hanging towels on the bathroom walls.

i found the location to be quite convenient, a simple ten minute walk took me directly into town. the available kitchen was large and featured every appliance necessary. fresh towels arrived each day during my short stay. the house seemed very quiet with little noise evident.
