cute staff clean room nice breakfast sensitive control shower head high price
i found the staff were very cute i also found a clean room with a very nice breakfast i liked the room being clean and well-kept the breakfast was a good way to start my days
the electric shower use required some practice either too hot or too cold once i adjusted it, i avoided touching anything i noticed the shower head was prone to falling off and the temperature control was very sensitive the price of the room felt a little high

local produce helpful owners comfortable room record player
The breakfast included many local items. i found the owners cute and helpful (they even helped with my luggage). the room was quite very comfy and tidy. i enjoyed the record player in the room. It was a nice touch.
my bedroom felt a little cramped and i could not find enough sockets for my electronics.
