Upstairs bedroom with a downstairs bathroom was inconvenient. The entire place, especially upstairs, was hot until the later evening because there was no air conditioning. We would not stay there again.

The stay suited our purposes, but we would not book again because of the stairs (did not realise we would need to climb 14 steps to bed (one disabled person). Otherwise it was a very good accommodation.
