Pros:

As I was staying more than a week I had access to the kitchen, Microwave, fridge.
Good Location in the centre of town.

Cons:

It can get noisy Friday and Saturday nights, they have parties down stairs till late, though I was informed of this in advance. It was a lot quieter during the week. Which was ok for me.
