tasteful and practical

city centre secure pin numbers responsive owner
i found the location quite convenient for the city centre. i received secure pin numbers via text on the morning of arrival for both the outer door and the room. the owner answered all queries quickly and was very responsive. the room was tastefully decorated, compact, yet it felt spacious enough for practical use.
the bathroom door was a bit misaligned, so it did not close completely.
