The room included a separate kitchen. It was also a nice quiet room.
The security deposit was taken out fully. I found out it could take 28 days to be refunded because it was a Monzo account.

The staff were FRIENDLY. Leaving luggage was such a godsend. The location is fantastic.
The mattress on one of the beds needs replacing. Springs have gone, and it was very uncomfortable. There was no air conditioning, and I could not open any windows, so the room was sweltering. I only got one pillow per guest.
