the location was central and accessible to public transport, i found that to be acceptable.
The room i booked lacked basic amenities, such as a closet or dresser. this made unpacking quite difficult. the unpleasant smell lingered throughout my stay. It was a musty smell inside with a strong odor of urine outside. the combination of these factors.
