Excellent Self-Catering Stay

The kitchen was amazing and fully equipped for cooking. I found the room to be very clean, which I always appreciate. The location was quite convenient for getting around. I felt the price was reasonable for an overnight stay.
The shower made a dripping sound throughout the day. It was slightly uncomfortable (I'm very sensitive to noise).

the absence of tea or coffee-making facilities within the room was a distinct oversight. i found this quite inconvenient. furthermore, the provided towels felt rather thin and somewhat rough against the skin. i believe better quality linens would greatly improve the experience.
