The property was exactly as the photos, new and super clean. The bed was so comfortable that it will make you think twice before getting up. The host is amazing and replies to all your messages. All the essentials mentioned were available in the room and the kitchen had everything you need. The location is perfect and nearby everything. There is a mini supermarket that opens till late which is very convenient. I strongly recommend this place to others.
