It was one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. All the photos were highly misleading. What was shown as a “bedroom” was actually just a converted carport on the lower level. To use the bathroom, you had to pass through another room, and none of the bathrooms had proper privacy or locks. The stairs were extremely bad, especially the internal staircase going upstairs. The living area was extremely small and filled with bulky, oversized furniture that made it feel even more cramped
