Nov 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in The host was very pleasant. The place Very clean, (but dust under the bed overlooked) The UK style door handle was a huge issue, opening and closing, I didn't feel secure on the inside. I recommend an illuminated strip on the step up into bathroom ( I once broke a toe in the past on one of these.) Should someone trip they could hit their head on edge of the hand basin. Also recommend frosting film on bathroom window, for day time. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nico k.
