Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Nice inside, But...... This place is very nice inside and well equipped, but it is on a main road with constant traffic all the time. Inside was nice, but the half drunk beer can left next to the bed didn't give a great first impression.I had a good stay, but was disappointed at the end. I left the place in great condition having cleaned everything and it was just me there........but despite leaving at the required time, I was still hassled to leave at the end because the cleaners arrived before their stated time. I also left an item there by mistake and despite asking the owner about it, I have been ignored. ##### Nicholas R.
