If you want a Harry Potter Experience living under the stairs in very small room with cozy cupboard feel, plus a beautiful balcony view then choose Room 22. The excitement of this experience is trying to find room 22 and as your eyes adjust with disbelief ...You find yourself teleported into the laundry area tucked next to the washing machine and dryer. $426 for 2 nights in this cozy cupboard is a life changing experience!
