central retreat

central location onsite parking good shower s i m p l e l o c k

the apartment was very close to the town center and attractions. parking onsite meant we didn't need the car for two days. the bathroom was nice with plenty of storage and a good shower it had everything i needed after a long day.

the door lock felt simple so there was a lack of security. i could hear people coming and going outside and in the building. it was sometimes quite noisy, which wasn't ideal after a day of excursions.
