central location quiet vibe shared kitchen late message personal touch narrow staircase

i loved how central this spot was. it had a really quiet vibe. my room felt huge and super clean. the shared kitchen was such a bonus , i could whip up meals whenever i wanted.

the message with arrival details came a bit late , i felt a little rushed. the place lacked a personal touch , since i didn't meet anyone running it. also , the staircase to the second floor was quite narrow.

Balanced Stay Experience

convenient location meal preparation comfortable bed short notice narrow stairs impersonal experience

The location is convenient to a supermarket. It is less than five minutes away. The kitchen has everything needed for meal preparation. The bed was comfortable .

The message regarding arrival was received too short notice. The stairs to the upper floors are narrow. I found the experience to be somewhat impersonal. There was no direct contact with the owner.
