Awful, stressful, a waste of money and time on vacay
Pros:

We got ripped off. We had to find another room. It was too uncomfortable.

Cons:

There were none of the amenities as listed on website. The room looked completely different. There were stains on the floor, holes in the walls. It smelled bad. The bed was in the bathroom. There was supposedly parking lot, but we drove around for an hour and couldn’t find it. I could go on but you get the picture. We ended up taking the hit and finding another room. When we check out, there were two other couples doing the same thing as us (checking out immediately after checking in). This might be a known scam for the locals. I felt super dumb for trusting the listing.

Pros:

It was fine - not exceptional

Cons:

I didn't use the kitchen, except boiled some water, but I saw several pans there, but no cutlery in evidence. How could you use them, unless you brought your own utensils. No microwave that I could see.

We will stay again for sure but maybe request a specific room.
Pros:

Easy to get around

Cons:

We’ve stayed before and absolutely loved it. This time we were in a different area and it was very loud. We could hear people flushing and showering and talking etc. The room was just super odd really.

Cons:

Very noisy on weekend nights. Directly above and directly across from two pubs open until 2AM. Then you hear the noisy street drunks kicked out at 2AM, followed by meth-head screaming matches at 6:30 AM. Even wearing earplugs it was impossible to rest. Horrible horrible noise. Not worth the money.
