thin towels no iron

i was pretty annoyed with a few things. the towels were really small and thin. i also couldn't believe there was no iron in the room, very inconvenient. these things really put a damper on what could have been a better stay.

excellent attention spacious accommodation easy parking

joel and bruno showed excellent attention. they helped ensure all my needs were met, and this made a big difference. the accommodation was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. the street offered easy parking.

the thin towels weren't ideal, and i would have liked a better blow dryer. this was a minor inconvenience during my otherwise pleasant stay. providing slightly thicker towels would enhance the experience.
