Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The public areas, including the bathroom and kitchen, are well-maintained and close to the room. We arrived on a cold day, and the owner provided an extra heater in our room, turning it on to welcome us. She also did the same in the public kitchen. Parking is easy just in front of the door.
Negative: There is no WiFi signal in the room we stay in, but you can still find it by walking to the designated public area. Not a big problem, as we had our internet plan on the phone.
Summary: Comfortable stay with lovely and caring owner.
