Great location, probably not worth the price, disappointingly dirty.
Pros:

Location was excellent, walking distance to town and a lot of the main places we wanted to go. Good restaurants and cafes nearby.

Cons:

Room was dirty, air con didn’t work very well. For the price I expected a little more. One bottle of water provided when we arrived but couldn’t find anywhere to refill and no new bottle provided for subsequent days.
