Good location and spacious rooms, with a wide range of facilities including a dishwasher and washing machine. The beds were clean, but the room itself was not very clean, so if you’re looking for a spotless place, this may not be the best choice. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The first room we were in had a moldy smell, a lopsided fridge, a dirty terrace and several pieces of broken or missing furniture. We were asked to be moved to a different room and we're. While the room didn't smell and the fridge want lopsided, there was still broken or missing furniture
