great locationsmall roomnoise level

the location worked fine because it was near the places i wanted to see.

the room was a real letdown. it was way too small for what they advertise. moving around with my luggage reminded me of navigating an obstacle course, and dont even get me started on the noise levels. i could hear everything from the street and other rooms, ruining any chance of a decent sleep.
