Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Some beds are firm — A few guests found the mattresses firmer than they prefer, though this did not greatly affect their overall enjoyment.
  • Showers can feel tight — The shower space was noted as a bit cramped, especially in the otherwise modern bathroom.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals—though hosts are praised for flexibility.
