The owner greeted us upon arrival and explained the facilities. He was very pleasant and cute. The room was perfect for my early appointment the following morning. Shops and restaurants were nearby with just a couple of minutes walk.

The listing did not mention there was no private bathroom. The bathroom was on a different floor. I noticed hairs on the sink, as well as spots on the furniture.
