mixed feelings about this stay

dirty room zero amenities
The location was great. It had many shops and restaurants nearby.
The room was not clean. My socks became soiled if i walked without shoes. there was long black hair everywhere like the floor and the shower. there were zero amenities, just a one-cup coffee machine and an electric kettle.

charming!

superb location netflix access free tea convenient access
the location was superb! i found it central to everything i wanted to see. the tv in my room allowed me to easily watch netflix using my own account, a treat. i really appreciated having free tea and coffee available in my room. the easy access using codes given at check-in also made coming and going convenient.
i noticed a bit of street noise at night, perhaps some thicker windows could help with that.
