Sophia Bellion 19/05/2026I liked: Great location, easy to get into the city by bus or Uber, the area felt very safe. The property has a lot of character and you can tell it has been restored with care. I did not like: Unfortunately there could have been greater attention to detail of cleaning between people staying, as we found used blue kitchen roll and a chocolate bar wrapper behind the sofa as we turned on the lamp. However the beds and other spaces were clean. The property was very hot with the heat control seeming not to work correctly so we had to have the windows open most of the time, I could imagine it would be quite unbearable in winter. Summary: Great location, everything you need, well presented space but could be a little cleaner and cooler. ... Read full reviewClose
