I would not book here again
Pros:

I love the location of the property and the aesthetic of the room

Cons:

The room was not cleaned. Well, there was dog hair in the shower. The shower looked like it had not been cleaned. There was red mold buildup as well. The curtains in the room look like there were poop on them. I believe this is a Dog from hotel so I’m assuming there was a dog before my stay.
