Quaint little space
The house was neat and clean when we entered, it is attached to a bigger house. I guess this is the basement of the house but there was decent sunlight in the morning. The bathroom had clean towels and the kitchen had basic necessities. Overall we had a good and peaceful stay.

A pleasant time
Overall my girlfriend and I had a pleasant stay. The room was nice and cozy to sleep in, and the amenities were pretty much everything we needed. If you need something on the smaller side I would recommend this place for sure.
