the location is excellent, near the subway, providing convenient access to various parts of the city.
The room was quite small. I found the limited space rather restricting for a comfortable stay.

small room unclean bathroom
The location was great, near subway stations. It made getting around easy.
I was disappointed that the room felt smaller than expected. There was little space to move around and the shared bathroom wasn't always clean. I hoped for better for the price I paid.
