central location free parking helpful owner loud fan erratic television limited ventilation
The location is very close to the city center. Free parking was available at the guest house. The owner gave a helpful explanation of nearby attractions and provided contact information.
The bathroom fan was quite loud and disruptive. The tv reception was erratic and cut out frequently. The window only opened a little bit, so ventilation was limited.
