A group of guests staying over Christmas noted the host left out two wrapped presents containing biscuits and a puzzle.

Considerations

The apartment is on the top floor of the apartment block, accessible via a couple of hills. Several guests reported poor WiFi signal and slow speeds below 2 Mbps.
