Adequate stay, some issues present

excellent locationcomfortable bedparking facilitydeep cleantight entrancecobweb ceiling
The location IS excellent. I could easily walk to the city centre. The bed was REALLY comfortable, awesome for restful sleep. The car parking facility was much appreciated.
The room needed a deep clean. Cobwebs WERE present on the ceiling. The entrance up the alley to park the car was very tight. I almost scraped the car.

My room was a good size. The self catering facilities were great. It included a decent kitchenette. I also liked that the host let me leave my bags after checkout and collect them later. It was a lovely surprise to find chocolate in the fridge!
The hot and cold taps in the kitchenette didn't turn on or off properly. The room seemed basic. I was missing a sofa and there were plain walls.
