friendly owners breakfast basket quiet street small double slatted bed uncomfortable bed
The location is down a quiet street. It is near shops and restaurants. Owners were friendly. Having the breakfast basket in the morning was a great idea, very unique.
The bed was a very small double. A slatted bed was very uncomfortable. I did not like that. There was nowhere to relax other than our room. I think the owners must replace the bed and get a new mattress.

small tv awkward position
breakfast arrived right to the room and i got to pick everything ahead of time from a big list (especially loved the pancakes!).
i didn't like that the room felt a bit cramped. there wasn't much space to move around. also, the tv was quite small and positioned awkwardly.
