They do have some “quirk”, including red cupboards, colourful furnishings, queen day bed, a large round “fishbowl” window, double sliding glass doors leading to your own private deck with a large custom built eco bath big enough for two, a hammock, yoga mats and some seating. You will also have your own private carpark.
