good locationpaper-thin wallsunclean bathroom
the location was acceptable as it was close to public transportation.
The room i booked was far from what i expected. the walls seemed paper-thin, i could hear every conversation and footstep from the hallway. also, the bathroom wasn't cleaned properly. There were hairs in the shower when i arrived and a lingering smell of cleaning chemicals.
