“This is a place where the staff truly shine, offering genuine care even with limited hours; plus, having a supermarket close by adds real convenience. Yes, it might take a bit of effort to find, but I think the people make it worth it. The facilities are standard, yet the warm atmosphere elevates the experience.”
