Was good for what it was good for.
Pros:

I liked the split apartment - updates bedroom & downstairs living room.

Cons:

I didn’t like the shower too small , not enough towels & lining. Also asking for ID of all the people who stayed was crazy. But good!

It was good for just coming back after a day of adventuring. The stairs to the bedroom were not fun when you’ve been wal
Pros:

That it was very central to everything

Cons:

Quite outdated. There was patches on the ceiling where there had been water leaks that they had just patched over rather than actually fixing. The lock on the bathroom door kept getting stuck. One bedroom door was sliding and the other a normal door. Neither of which had locks. Didn’t have a TV in either bedroom. For the price I would have expected a seperate toilet from the bathroom or for the main bedroom to have its own toilet at least.
