Very basic, don’t expect much. The paint on the walls is peeling, we could smell the rug, there was a bit of mold in the bathroom and gnats coming out of the shower’s drain. The bed was old and after a couple of days gave us a back pain. Very noisy outside and area is not safe to be out alone at night.
