The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was great and provided everything needed. There is no outdoor space or any bars or restaurants though. Location was excellent.

AC did not work whatsoever and rowdy crowds at night made opening a window not much of a better solution. Sleeping was very hard every night because of this.
