It would be nice to have a curtain on the rear patio door & bedroom window for extra privacy, especially with the bedroom being on the front ground floor room. ### 8/10 Good #### Mona C. 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall this place was great. It was within walking distance to everything. Restaurants, cafes, grocery stores are right there. The Nescafé machine didn’t work. They did supply a couple of packs of instant coffee. The photos are true to life. It’s very clean. The bed and pillows were comfy. ##### Mona C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025
