Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Crystal Home is frequently described as beautiful, spacious, and spotless, offering a 'home from home' feel, where guests appreciate having access to a shared living room, kitchen, and even streaming services like Netflix. The pin-based locks on the front door and rooms provide good security, and the availability of a washer and dryer adds convenience for longer stays; some guests have found the location a bit less accessible by tram, though a bus stop to the city centre is within a short walk. Guests particularly enjoy the large bathroom with both a bath and shower, as well as the garden access with patio doors.

charmed by my stay

comfortable bedstreaming servicereclining seatspublic transportation

my double room had a comfortable bed. it also included a tv with streaming services. the shared lounge had reclining seats on the sofa, which i appreciated. i found the location convenient with easy access to public transportation.

i did notice that the walls could use a fresh coat of paint in a few areas. this was a very minor issue.
