At the homestay, each unit includes a desk. Some units are fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, washing machine and a coffee machine, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. All units have a private bathroom, free toiletries and bed linen. I had a really lovely stay here. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the bed was great. The staff were friendly, helpful and always smiling, which made me feel very welcome. The location is convenient for getting around, with shops and restaurants nearby. I would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it to others.
