I probably had some responsibility in missing this detail, but I wasn't aware that the second bedroom would be rented out. As a single woman renting I would have liked to have that been made more clear. Perhaps on confirmation? Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay, with a great restaurant in walking distance, and the setting was a redeveloped historic naval shipyard. Public transportation and historic sites were easily accessible. ##### Sofia A.
