I found a separate living room connected to the bedroom, awesome. The room had everything! A kettle, cutlery, an oven, a microwave, coffee, and sugar were all available. I slept amazingly well. The bed was super comfy! I will definitely book again when I'm in the area.

The lock on the door was a little tricky. The key kept turning without opening it easily.
