bus stop public transport cereal milk breakfast helpful owner detailed information small room low ceiling faulty heating electric heater main road traffic noise
the bus stop was nearby. it made getting to the city center simple. the room had cereal and milk, a nice touch (i did appreciate that). the owner provided helpful information regarding the bus routes.
The room was quite small. tall people might find it difficult. I almost did. the heating did not seem to work. there was only a small electric heater provided, which wasn't enough to heat the room properly. i noticed some noise from the main road outside my window.

I found the location super handy! The bus stop is just across the street, made getting around so simple. Plus, cereal and milk were available for free. That's so nice. The host were really friendly to. I asked for directions and they helped me right out!
Oh man, the room were really small! It felt a bit cramped, especially with my luggage. The noise from other guests were pretty noticeable too. It was hard to sleep well when I heard people moving around at night. the room not cleaned . I had to ask for fresh towels.

mixed feelings about the stay

difficult check-in street noise
The initial check-in process was a bit of a mess. i didn't get the access code until late, due to some communication issues. I was left waiting, unsure of how to get in. plus, the noise from the street was constant. it seems the soundproofing isn't the best, so i heard traffic all night long. not the most relaxing experience, i must say
