The personalized service is a clear advantage, with hosts who seem genuinely invested in crafting a memorable stay.

the breakfast was plentiful (i especially liked the toast).

The mattress was very soft and unsupportive. I could almost feel the springs. the shower had black grouting and the sliding door had orange rust in the corners. i thought this place was quite expensive for what i experienced.
