damp smell lack of shelves

The location was lovely and quiet. Close to restaurants but away from the city buzz.

The room i stayed in was quite disappointing. It felt cramped because there wasn't enough space to open both of our suitcases. the room and bathroom had a noticeable damp smell, and the bathroom lacked shelves. i don't think i'd stay here again.
