We absolutely loved our stay. The house itself was cozy with a unique charm and the location is great wit a lot of resta
Pros:

The property was extremely Cozy. The room was comfortable and you have full access to the kitchen and living room. The bathroom was shared with other guests but that was no problem at all. Your room has its own locks so everything was sucure. There is also parking right next to the house.

Cons:

No complaints.😊

Pros:

The location was very accessible. Instructions were clear. Room was clean, quiet, and big. Bathroom was easily accessible.

Cons:

Probably nothing. If I am to net pick, it would be that maybe it is better to have water bottles in the fridge as complementary for the guests.

overall very reasonably priced and other guests were quiet-nice that there were no babies or kids
Pros:

location nice, within walking distance to university, cafes, and shopping

Cons:

didn't realize the photo was a shared living room, thought it was part of our room, need boot trays for winter, people kept their boots on while going up and down stairs, carpets need shampooing, and air too hot and dry

Pros:

C’était super bien . Juste que je ferais un peu plus de ménage pour que ce soit plus propre. Comme la porte d’entrée vers la poignée est très sale. Et la salle de bain, faudrait nettoyer un peu plus. Comme les plaintes et la porte aussi. Mais sinon, nous avons bcp aimé cet endroit .

Für das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis eine gute Unterkunft.
Pros:

Die Ausstattung war sehr gut und eine zentrale Lage zur Innenstadt.

Cons:

Es hätte sauberer sein können und es war ab und zu hellhörig.
