Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms — Some guests were disappointed with bathroom cleanliness on occasion, though others found them spotless. Expect shared facilities rather than en-suite.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for travelling with animals.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — If you arrive later than 23:00, you may need to coordinate with the host in advance; the policy is strict.
- Below-average rating in area — With an 8.3 rating against the area average of 8.7, the property ranks lower than some neighbours, likely due to occasional cleaning issues.
