I would rate this place 4 out of 10 due to the overall quality of the room. The property feels quite old, with very dated cupboards. The cutlery stored in the cupboards did not appear clean, which made me hesitant to use it. The room layout was unusual, as the bedroom was accessed via a hallway through the bathroom. While the beds were neatly made, the carpet did not look clean. The dining chair covers were dusty, and overall the room did not feel well maintained. Unfortunately, it was not a great stay for us.
