The check-in for this guesthouse was very difficult! The property owner was supposed to email us 2 days before with check in codes and information since there are no staff on site to help. However, they never contacted us, and at the time of check in, I ended up calling, messaging, and texting many times with no response. When the owner finally did respond (hours after check in time began), they gave us the incorrect door code. We had to go through expedia customer service to get the correct information and ended up spending a ton of time on our phones just go get inside out of the cold. The rooms themselves were as expected and the space was cozy, but the check in process made they stay not worth the money.

Best is location a block to a lake with swans and ducks, 4 blocks to Rainbow Street and shopping and restaurants. Negative is parking not as stated and no one was there when they said they would be. You have to figure everything out for yourself.

Great deal for a great location/spacious studios
After reading so many negative reviews, I was afraid that our keys wouldn't be waiting for us or that there would be bed bugs. None of that happened and we loved the place! Just as described in the email, we used the access code to get into the lobby, and our keys were there waiting for us with our names on them. It took us a few minutes to find the doors to our studios, but we found them and they were quite spacious, with 4 twin beds and a kitchen and a bathroom in each studio. It would have been preferable to have someone there to greet us and check us in, but that's probably why the price for these studios was so reasonable. The location is right in the middle of numerous nice restaurants and bars. I highly recommend!

I like that it was clean. That our four beds were pretty comfortable and it was in walking distance to a lot of stuff. The parking was confusing I didn't see any free parking anywhere had to park in the street where it was required to pay. But it was pretty safe I wasn't worried about my vehicle.

BED BUGS!!!!! We stayed in room 6. Our child slept on the day bed. My husband and I on the two singles that were next to each other. My child was bit dozens of times in one night! I have contacted the property about this through two different platforms and have not heard back. We inspected our backpacks which were thankfully zipped most of the time and did not pick up any additionally travelers. Nonetheless we paid 25 pounds at our next location to have all of our clothes professionally laundered.
