fantastic room!

fluffy towelscoffee machinefull-size hairdryerstreet noise
The room had lovely fluffy towels. there was a coffee machine with pods available. water bottles were in the fridge. i appreciated the inclusion of an iron, ironing board, and full-size hairdryer. a fan radio and tv were also available. I found these very useful.
street noise outside was excessive, lasting until after midnight. i could also hear someone snoring in the room above. this kept me awake all night. i could hear people talking in other rooms and even walking around.

generally satisfactory stay

friendly landladyseparate entrancecentral locationwindy steps
the landlady was friendly and cute upon arrival. the room itself was smart, clean, and tidy. it had a separate entrance to the side, this entrance was also clean and well-decorated..
the location was a bit too central and noisy. it might be cold in autumn, winter, or spring. the steps were windy and narrow, they might be tricky for people with less mobility.
