Acceptable Stay, Areas Need Improvement

unclean shower cigarette smoke

I encountered a couple of issues. The bathroom needed more attention. The shower area was not thoroughly cleaned. there was a noticeable cigarette smoke smell in the common areas, rather unpleasant. It seems ventilation or air purification would benefit this area.

quiet location kitchen access comfortable bed helpful host

The location is superb, near the city walls. The host was friendly and gave useful local recommendations. I had access to both a kitchen and a living room, a great convenience. The bed was very comfortable, a welcome feature after a long day exploring.

The shared bathroom was sometimes occupied when I needed it, a minor inconvenience.

Satisfactory central stay

great location easy access well-equipped kitchen subpar cleanliness strange odor missing pillowcase

The location was GREAT. It allowed me easy access to the city center within minutes. I also found the kitchen to be well-equipped. It provided all the necessary tools for preparing meals.

The overall cleanliness of the house seemed subpar. There was a strange odor throughout the hotel. The bathroom SHOWER could have used a more thorough cleaning. one of the pillows lacked a pillowcase.
