The provided kitchen has amazing facilities. I have never seen such a well-equipped kitchen in similar accommodation. The host contacted us in advance regarding where to eat. This helpful advice proved invaluable.
The bathroom had a very mouldy appearance. I observed it was cleaned. The bed provided an uncomfortable night. It felt very hard and gave me back pain.

strange odor weak wi-fi
The bathroom had a very strange odor. I think it might have come from the drains. it was quite noticeable upon entering. also, the wi-fi signal was weak in my room! i could barely load a simple webpage. this made planning my day trips rather difficult. the lack of signal strength became a big nuisance.
