location is convenient

convenient location short walk clean room old carpet patio furniture plastic chairs

the location was very convenient. it was a short walk to the main bus and train station (it took me about 6 minutes). the metro was also close, about a 3-minute walk. the room was clean and quiet. i found that to be a nice surprise.

the carpet in the room was quite old. i noticed some stains and what looked like holes (it definitely needs replacing). the patio furniture seemed a bit broken. i saw holes in the plastic chairs on the patio.
