the window in my room needs a fix, it didn't close properly. this let in more sounds at night, disrupting my sleep slightly. the traffic wasnt to bad though

reasonable accommodation

super clean place lovely breakfast old-fashioned room dated decor poor view

the owner booked a taxi to the terminal for me. the place was super clean. breakfast was also lovely. i was able to store heavy bags in a downstairs room.

the room was quite old fashioned, and it was dated. the bed linen did not look crisp and fresh. the view from the bedroom window was poor, it looked upon an entry of broken garden furniture.
