Comfortable stay

Very enjoyable stay. Maybe need to velcro a curtain to door to keep light out at night and maybe get topper pads for the fold down beds as they are a bit hard. Overall comfortable stay, thank you.

Thanks Denise for your feedback! We’ve started applying a darker tint onto the windows (in between guest stays) and are looking into options for alternative blinds :) Re futons will also look at this however wanting to avoid clutter as limited storage space. :)

Cool place

I really liked the layout of the place, I would highly recommend for a solo traveler or for two people traveling. The only thing I would say is the light from the hallway is very visible at night but hopefully would be fixed. Thank you for the stay
