8/10 Good

Arpita

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Everything was great. 1. Mainly the daily maintenance and stuff behaviour was so good. 2. I reached around 12 pm and the check in time was 3 pm, I requested them for early check in and they immediately gave me one clean room, thanks for that. 3. There are some good restaurants in the neighbourhood, so it’s convenient. I have some suggestions for the house though: 1. One exhaust fan in the toilet will be helpful. 2. The bathroom door should close properly otherwise unwanted smell from bathroom spreads inside the bedroom, which in not desirable. Otherwise it is great stay in the price range I can say that.
