satisfactory accommodation

comfortable bed water bottles steep hill narrow bathroom
the room was clean. it had a comfortable bed with nice pillows. two water bottles were provided (very thoughtful). a tray held coffee, tea, and biscuits.
the location is near the town centre, but it is up a steep hill. there are two steep narrow staircases to reach the room. the room was small and the bathroom felt narrow.

super clean stay

smooth check-in thoughtful host
The check-in process was smooth with the convenient key arrangement. my room included tea and water, quite convenient after traveling. the host provided a bigger room without any hassle. I found this especially thoughtful. it was easy to drink tea while looking out the window.
my room felt small. i needed to reorganize it for a more functional space. i had trouble finding space to open my suitcase.

some issues noticed.

small room awkward stay
The room was small. it needs reorganising. nowhere could i open a suitcase. nowhere could i sit. The bed was too high to sit on. the chest of drawers should be removed and the space used for a luggage rack with a shelf above and a stool.
