Cozy stay with excellent service

free breakfast helpful host second floor needed amenities
Chris. He offered a free breakfast after helping fix the front door. The luggage went up to the second floor without issue. The room was cleaned and had the amenities I needed.
The decor had an unusual style and felt a little dark to me.

Acceptable Stay with Cleaning Issues

room uncleaned visible dust
The location was easily walkable to the main attractions.
The room was not thoroughly cleaned. I noticed dust and other grime. The cleanliness issue made me uncomfortable (even though I tried to ignore it).
