Very clean and comfortable, with a good location and quiet surroundings. Plan on earplugs and eye mask, because the walls are THIN (but I got lucky with my neighbours) and the lights outside the building are intense (but they lower them around 11pm and have good curtains). I will come back, it's really good value for money!
