8/10 Very Good! (291 reviews)

Great place, outdated but still extremely comfortable. Only problems were ants everywhere, despite ensuring we cleaned up after ourselves, the stovetop fan was broken and didn't work. Also, lack of cooking utensils and tea towels. For the price though, it was great and got the job done! Air con was fantastic and would probably stay again.
