Adequate Accommodation with Kitchen Facilities

The shared kitchen facilities were convenient. The kitchen provided a microwave oven and two fridges. The location offers good access to nearby walks. I also appreciated the garden and open space.
My room was dated. The curtains did not fully close. I found this inconvenient.
