the location was acceptable, providing access to nearby amenities.
i found the small interior stairs quite steep and difficult to manage. the room was also small and lacked sufficient surfaces for placing personal items. the bed was hard and did not provide comfort.

The location was superb, very strategic. I found it surrounded by cafes and local amenities. The room suited me perfectly. The beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom was spacious. Toiletries were provided, including towels and hair and body wash.
I heard every noise other guests made. A family above us sounded like a herd of elephants. Each toilet flush upstairs was very noisy. The noise kept me from sleeping.
