"Great host, very helpful. Immaculate unit which has been recently stylishly refurbished I understand. Unusual to see a hob in there as well plus a microwave. Didnt use the hob myself but a great addition for someone who wants to cook their own meals rather than rely on the very limited food offerings. Would definately stay here again."
