adequately located, but some issues noted

small bathroom musty smell
my stay had some drawbacks. the bathroom was notably small. positioning oneself on the toilet required an awkward angle due to limited space. a distinct musty smell pervaded the room and this was unpleasant.

bathroom decor friendly hosts short walk sagging twin beds tiny sink no breakfast
The room was comfy and clean, I really loved the bathroom decor. Hosts were very helpful with information, they were friendly. It was a short walk into town, the location was great.
The twin beds were sagging quite a bit. The sink was so tiny, this was annoying, I think. I had to sit on an angle on the toilet. No breakfast was included either.

The toilet setup was awkward, requiring one to sit at an angle (i guess this is a feature now?). the sink was tiny. breakfast was not included. I guess i'll just starve.
