decent stay in a central location
convenient locationlaundry servicehelpful ownerwindow absencedark roomsmoke smell
the location is really convenient. i could easily walk to key attractions. the free laundry service with detergent was useful. the owner was helpful during check-in, explaining everything clearly.
the room had no window to the outside. our window faced the shared kitchen, that also lacked a window. the room smelled of smoke sometimes. this was because one of the cleaners was smoking in the kitchen, even though there is a no smoking rule.
