acceptable location, significant downsides
helpful staffnarrow staircasestreet noise
the staff seemed friendly and helpful.
The room was smaller than expected. It was cramped. single-pane windows did little to block street noise at night. i also found navigating the narrow, steep staircase difficult with luggage. It felt unsafe. the accommodation felt more like a hostel than a hotel.
