Pros:

Clean, has small play ground, close to centre. The accommodation was clean and well maintained, which we really appreciated. It’s also conveniently located, close to the city centre and easy to get around. That said, the property feels quite old and could benefit from some updates. Overall, a decent stay for the location and cleanliness, but don’t expect anything modern or fancy.

Cons:

property and furniture are quite old
