We loved the location! A short walk to many little shops and pubs. Easy access to buses. Bed was comfortable. The cleanliness was good and all of the necessary items were there to be able to cook. Laundry worked well. Hot water was great in the shower. We didn’t use the dishwasher. There was not a long list of weird rules that we have encountered in some places. The ONLY drawback for us was 3 flights of stairs. Be prepared to be in shape after you leave here! We loved the decore and felt comfortable.
