The room was lovely. A good size, very clean, soundproofed, and in a super location. The small kitchen area, and the balcony were an added bonus. 2 things to note before staying:- There is no reception/ staff. It is all online/automatic. There is no housekeeping service during the stay (we stayed 3 nights so that is manageable) Additionally, the pool is currently closed for renovation (we wouldn't have used it anyway as the weather wasn't the best)
