"Hi Navpreet,My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was very tidy, spacious and comfortable. All necessary bathroom and kitchen equipment and facilities was adequate for what we needed. Location was also perfect for everything we needed too. The only thing that lacked was heating equipment or an easier access to be able to heat the unit. However blankets were provided which made it a very comfortable sleep and stay. I also want to note that during our stay we broke a diffuser...
