The property is really dilapidated inside. Steps broken, doors of the shared bathroom lock falling apart. Carpets are very dirty, there were cigarette ashes on the window sill. Cigarette butts all over the front of the property. The attendant was very nice and polite and changed us to a slightly better room on the third floor.
