i found the location convenient as it was away from the busy tourist areas. i could reach the city center by walking or using frequent buses. local shops, pubs and restaurants provided various options for meals. the shower pressure was excellent.
the wardrobe door was falling off its hinges . the furniture appears quite dated in general. a refurbishment would enhance the experience.
