They didn’t mention before booking that it is prohibited to eat in the rooms or you receive an 80€ fine … also there was a smoking area right outside our room so the room filled with smell of cigs every few hours. The breakfast was weak, nothing freshly cooked and not worth the money. The shower was good and the host was very friendly. Too far from downtown.
