The room included many free snacks and drinks, and this was a REALLY nice surprise. Netflix access was also available at no extra cost. The location is very close to the cliff walk, only ten minutes away. I found the host very helpful. He responded quickly to all my questions.
The building needs some restoration, specially the entrance. It looks a little dated.
