adequate stay
clean roommini fridgeironing boardsmall bathroommaterial blindsthin net curtain
the room was lovely and clean. it was also very warm. the room was well equipped with even a mini fridge. an iron and ironing board.
The room and bathroom were too small and very basic. too much light came into the room when i tried to sleep. This was due to material blinds. there were no additional curtains, and a very high-up window was by the bed, with just a thin net curtain covering it.
