The location was good for getting around. I found the buses were regular and easy to use! the room had a nice, warm temperature, which i really appreciated given how cold it was outside. there was also plenty of tea, coffee, and milk available. the owner was always quick to respond to my texts. It was so helpful!
the room seemed mostly clean, but i did notice some cobwebs in the corners, which could use a little more attention

The bathroom definitely had issues. black mold was all over and a constant damp smell lingered. the shower had trouble maintaining a consistent temperature, fluctuating constantly. plus, there were cables hanging out of the hallway ceiling. Not a great look.
