convenient location retro style unappealing view many mosquitoes

the location was great. it was very convenient to the train station and other main attractions (i walked everywhere!). the room itself was clean and had a lovely retro style.

my room faced a back area, not very appealing. i had to keep the windows closed because of the view and mosquitoes (this was a bit of a downside).
