“The location, nestled near the university, strikes me as a safe and convenient base. I appreciate the keypad system for late check-ins, while the organized kitchen space is definitely a plus, however some aspects could be improved. I think that this guesthouse provides a functional stay, especially for those prioritizing proximity to the university area.”
