Copley House

Copley House

8/10 Good
"This is a very cool property in a fantastic location. But I must have had the smallest room, only a twin bed, no furniture except a stool/chair and the bed. The stool lets you sit at the short counter that passes for a desk/work space and blends right into the tiny kitchenette with small fridge, hot surface, microwave. The kitchenette is ingeniously laid out and has plates/cups/utensils; one could stay a week if one doesn’t mind the size. The bathroom sink did not drain and the shower heat took some time to figure out. The absolute worst part is the very steep, very narrow stairs. Rather dangerous."
