Very neat, tidy, modern tasteful studio.supplied every need simply. Small but very adequate. Coffee available at small store over the road. ##### Jan G. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toni J. 31 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location Easy walk into the village. Bus stop not far. Comfy bed. One of the interior lights wasn’t working and the water glasses weren’t very clean. I didn’t love having to wash the dishes in the bathroom sink or knowing that the previous guest had washed them in the bathroom sink. I’d prefer to know the property manager resupplies the few plates, cups, cutlery etc. overall an excellent location wins here. ##### Toni J. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023
