Clean, comfortable and a good location with everything we needed for a couple of days within walking distance.The listing is a little confusing - the photos clearly show an oven/hotplates however it was called a kitchenette. On arrival they had a sign reading "not in use" due to regulations, so very limited ability to cook meals.
