Amazing Stay with Great Breakfast!

kind ownergreat breakfastcute hosthelpful service
The owner greeted us upon arrival and he explained all about the facilities. He offered help with local area navigation, a very kind gesture. The breakfast choice was immense and everything tasted great. Rich and Ada were very cute, I found nothing was too much trouble for them.
The room gets stuffy, I wish they have AC.
Location

The location is very good, it is midway between shops, bars, and restaurants. A ten-minute walk takes you to the local amenities, I believe. Walking down to the Lakeside takes about twelve to fifteen minutes.
Rooms

The room included a useful mini fridge. Fresh milk was an added nice bonus, I must say. Furnishings felt fabulous, I also found the room impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable, I can say this from experience.
