A wonderful and welcoming stay
My stay was fantastic. the cleanliness of both my room and the shared areas stood out, and having access to Netflix made my evenings cozy. Breakfast had great options including homemade bread, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, like I was at a friend's place. However, it would have been helpful to have clearer communication on accessing the property before my arrival.

The accommodations offer personal lockers for each guest, ensuring your belongings stay secure. They provide a solid breakfast spread, including cereal, bagels, and coffee, available until late morning, making it easy to fuel up for the day. Those seeking entertainment will appreciate the two TVs with cable and Netflix, along with free Wi-Fi that actually holds up.
Things can get pretty toasty if you're in a crowded dorm room, and I found the narrow hallways created some awkward moments when moving around, especially during busy times. There's a definite lack of privacy as most rooms aren’t fully enclosed. for solo female travelers, the unaddressed smoking odor in certain common areas could be concerning. Also, the bathrooms, while clean, can occasionally get congested during peak hours.

I had such a fun time borrowing a bike to explore the area and enjoying the homemade goodies in the kitchen. The cozy garden area is perfect for relaxing, and I loved unwinding in the lounge after a long day. Just a heads up, the shared bathrooms could use a bit more upkeep, but it didn’t ruin my stay at all! 😊
