spacious room well appointed kitchen easy privacy excellent views

the room was spacious, equipped with a well appointed kitchen. the two levels provided easy privacy (a big plus!). the views were excellent. i appreciated the comfortable bed and the very good and spacious bathroom setup.

the check in process was slightly slow, due to several guests arriving simultaneously and limited staff at the desk.
