Its ok but alot of stairs and smelt very stuffy. Master Bedroom lights didnt work but great kitchen/appliances. Certainly a novelty.

Disappointing ectually
The surrounding is beautiful and close bye everything where we came for.
Many lamps didn’t work. There were no pictures of the 2 sleeping eras below in the ship on the information site.
They had no comfort and had not a pleasant smell, what keep some of us awake.
All in all much too expensive what we got!
