The location was perfect — quiet, safe, and close to all the main attractions. The bed was extremely comfortable, the amenities were high-quality, and every little detail showed how much care the host puts into this place. Communication was smooth and friendly, and check-in was effortless. I genuinely loved staying here and would happily return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle-free stay.
