Acceptable stay. That's ALL I can say.

The owners of the place were very polite I guess.

The room was small, the shower had low water flow and get this, the TV only got BBC1 and Talk radio (I seemed like I was back in the stone age).

the owners were cute and friendly throughout the stay. everything was clean and practical, which i found very useful. i liked that they asked me if i needed anything halfway through my stay (i thought it was super thoughtful!).

the room was a bit small for my liking, but it was manageable. the shower had low water flow, so it was a bit difficult to rinse properly. the tv had limited channels, only bbc1 and talk radio.
