I really want to stay here again, for longer. Such a beautiful home from home.
Pros:

Everything!
What a beautiful house. I wanted to stay on. It’s really well decorated and the picnic basket with the tea things is a lovely idea. I’d definitely stay again. And it’s so cheap! Right next to Metro too.

Cons:

Nothing. It’s perfect.

We won’t be returning
Pros:

Cheap and good, central location

Cons:

Smoke alarm had been removed from the room. No Co2 alarms. The door had a hole drilled through it, which had been filled with a piece of wood that was removable. The door also had gaps around the edge, which constantly shone light through when residents moved around all through the night. My partner was awake all night as did not feel safe due to the ‘residents’ wandering all through the night.

Cons:

La doccia ha un sistema di accensione non intuitivo per uno straniero e si dovrebbe dare delle indicazioni per agevolare.

I really enjoyed my stay, the staff were lovely and the bed was comfortable.
Pros:

I like that the property was close to the local shops and transport links. The area was fairly quiet and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

I struggled with the front door security system, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to access the building if I came back late to the property.
