the location was really convenient to different parts of the city. it was easy to find as well. i had loads of hot water, and the air conditioning worked well. (that's always a plus!) the bed was comfortable and i had enough space to spread out a bit.
the rooms were quite small. there was no fridge in the room, it would have been useful. the staircase was narrow (i was on the top floor).
