Decent stay overall

spacious room ensuite shower quiet location windowless bathroom broken ventilation harsh lighting

The room was spacious and had an ensuite shower. The location was quiet. Parking was available right outside. The host welcomed us and was ready to assist if needed.

The bathroom has no windows. The ventilation was not working as good as it should. It seems damp is starting to show in the bathroom. The bedside table lamps used harsh, bright light.
