“After looking into this property, the presence of a separate lounge area equipped with a kettle, microwave, toaster, fridge, and essential cutlery struck me as particularly convenient. It seems some rooms could use a closer look from housekeeping, but the potential for a comfortable, self-sufficient stay is definitely there. I think with attention to detail, this property could easily exceed expectations.”
