It is easy to reach the staff via whatsapp when I have queries. The room is spacious. The undrefloor heating in bathroom is warm enough to have a happy shower. All equipments are in good condition. Except the stovetop, all other facilities are easy to use. There are 3 grocery stores close-by. The pizza shop at G/F is good.
