adequate stay

local attraction good advice corner laundromat small attic sloping beam small en suite

the hosts gave good advice on local attractions. a laundromat was just around the corner. it was walking distance to the promenade and restaurants.

as a twin room, it was in a small attic space with a very small en suite. the sloping beams made it difficult to move around at night. the ceiling also made movement challenging.
