Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Lovely Stay Great property, lovely location. Overall a great place to stay. Only thing I will add is the property could do with adding a little touches with things such as offering basic toiletries like Shower Gel, full toilet and kitchen tissues as the one in the property only had a few sheets left, and simple touches like including Tea, Sugar etc. Apart from that it was wonderful. ##### Mohammad K.
