The ceiling in my room felt low, I kept hitting my head. Basic toiletries were missing from the bathroom! I expected better for the price. Bending to enter the top floor became annoying after the first day.

I was constantly hitting my head on the low ceiling in the room. i had to bend over just to walk around comfortably. there were also no toiletries provided in the bathroom. I expected at least basic things. it made the stay less convenient and quite frustrating

The host was knowledgeable about the local area. He offered suggestions for restaurants.
The shower temperature was impossible to regulate. It was either scalding hot or ice cold (no in-between). This made showering rather unpleasant.
