Not a luxury property but very comfortable and clean. Sometimes older properties have a lot of dirt build up but room was spotlessly clean. Furnishings are not fancy but everything goes well together and feels like a guest room rather than a hotel room. I like that owners are eco conscious. I would absolutely stay there again.
