Reviews
It's a house that, although faithful to the photos, is very dark and not very bright.
This house is very poorly soundproofed and seriously lacks security. The lock on the bay window, the only lock protecting the property, can be broken in a very short time.
In the bathroom, the shower head and hose need replacing; you lose a lot of water in the gap between the two parts.
I'm surprised to read here that this was a hotel. In a hotel, they give you a sweep at the very least; they change your towels, then make your bed.
But none of that here. We booked through Airbnb, so it didn't bother us; the name registered on Google is really not accurate.
Its real strong point is the view, but that's it!
We won't be back, and we don't recommend it.
