“Chill atmosphere in 1770”
It's just a great social atmosphere. Our dorm was spacious, and our 2 beds were able to be made private with a curtain. That was great. Easy walk to the beach and to a grocey store, coffee, and a variety of takeaway food cafes (pizza, etc) Communal kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery.
