8/10 Good
"the property looks like was recently renovated. The room we rented with a queen bed was spacious, clean and comfortable. They had a small breakfast included in the morning with someone who helped you out and sitted you in the morning. They had gated private parking with limited space, it was nice to have this space available for our car."
