Adequate stay near historic sites

ample space comfortable couch grocery store tv programming heating system damaged bin

The apartment offered ample space. The bed and couch provided comfort. I appreciated the proximity to local attractions. The castle WAS visible. The nearby grocery store added convenience.

The tv programming needed adjustment. The heating system proved difficult to configure. The bins were damaged and some dining ware needed cleaning. This was not ideal. THERE was not good provision for clothes hanging.
