The inclusion of kitchenettes and, in some units, fireplaces, coupled with the thoughtful provision of baked goods and coffee, elevates the comfort and value considerably. It strikes a pleasing balance between providing essential amenities and retaining a personal, rustic character that feels genuinely welcoming.”
