    • Review: "The room was clean and quite appealing. Because we were the only guests, we had the shared bathroom and toilet for ourselves. There was also a little private deck associated with the room which was great. The owners seemed to be nice but there was not much interaction happening as they kept to themselves.

No where to place suitcases, no privacy and you literally couldn’t swing a cat in there.
