The location was great and very close to tourist spots. It's a bit of a walk from the station, so if you have heavy luggage, I recommend taking a bus or taxi. Also, there is a supermarket (Sainsbury's) next door, so it's very convenient.

Excellent location on a quiet street, but close enough to all the main attractions with just a short walk. Room was small but perfect for the two of us. The weather was exceptionally warm but room was equipped with a fan - life saver for those hot nights!

The room was impecable, they left for us some tea and coffee and a sweet treat which I thought it was a nice detail. Directions and indications to enter the room and building were super easy and clear. We asked for late check out at 1 pm, it only costed us 6£ more which we thought was cheap. Bathroom fully equipped with anything you need to shower and also hand soap. The bed was super comfy and clean, the room had netflix and other services installed so that was also a nice touch. It is a bit far the city center (15 min walking) but that made it better for us because it was a very calm and quiet area but also close enough to do everything by foot. The hosts were very communicative and nice. Overall a Great experience, highly recommend!
