We loved our stay and were impressed by the hospitality of the owner William! The listing does make the space seem larger, and we were under the impression it was 2 bedrooms, not a pull out couch and one small room. That was our error. When we checked in, William was extremely accommodating and helped us book another room. Extremely clean and comfortable! Just beware the rooms are small if you have children.
