The room was fabulously clean and the bed very neat with a fridge and stove ready for use plus a microwave. It was excellent to find these extra items for the price we paid. That was additional joy to our trip. The fact that you can cook for yourself alone makes the place wow.
Everything was just good, the only thing that can be improved is the small gate to the backrooms were we stayed, if for the security reasons everyone allocated the backrooms can have at least their remote for convenient sake, I think that will be more interesting.
