perfect location charming shops spacious room

the location was perfect to everywhere. from the parking to those cute shops i adore, restaurants full of life, and the calming beach. the coastal walks nearby were a plus, we seemed like we had it all. the room had a spot and felt spacious, just what we needed.

the fridge, bless it, was a bit noisy at night. i had to turn it off so i could fall asleep. it was a shame because i liked having it.
