I found the location to be excellent for exploring. My room had a useful sink and a fridge, so this added convenience to my stay. The check-in instructions were clear and simple to follow. I really appreciated that.
The hot water tap in the sink had a sulfuric smell and was marked as cold water. This was quite confusing.
