The place that we stayed wasn't great, the beds were squeaky and the walls were very thin so could hear everything the people next door were saying and doing. The bathroom and lift also smelt strongly of weed. Thankfully we were only there for one night.

Boy racers screaming past most nights and ugly old Ocean Terminal across the road. Lousy traffic, lots of pollution, the house is damp and all the appliances are wearing out. Rolls Royce prices for a Skoda product.
