bus terminal main streets walking distance
I secured a Double Room and the location impressed me. The BSI bus terminal sits just a kilometer away. Bus stop 12 is conveniently within 1000 meters! Main streets are also in walking distance.
I noticed the shared bathroom did not have enough cleaning done!
