It features three bedrooms—one double, one twin, and a bunk room ideal for children—alongside a bathroom and a separate shower room, making it a perfect choice for families seeking comfort and convenience.
Upon entering the maisonette, guests are welcomed by a tiled entrance that provides ample storage for outdoor shoes and gear.
