Everything was spot on.

My stay at the guesthouse was truly exceptional! The manager provided the best service I have ever experienced. She was not only friendly and patient, but she went above and beyond to assist me with various things throughout my stay. The cleanliness of the room was outstanding, and it was quite spacious, with a wide range of TV programs to choose from. The Wi-Fi worked most of the time, and I appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The location of the guesthouse was perfect, situated in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Additionally, the guesthouse offered a convenient transportation service, making it easy to get around this city.
