It's a decent enough place, but it's definitely more like airbnb. The apartment was quite clean, and it was very convenient to have the kitchen and the washing machine available on the premises. The internet is way too slow though, and if you get the room facing the road, you're stuck with traffic noise. I slept with calming youtube music on, otherwise it would have been impossible for me to fall asleep.

The price is great! It was affordable. Room was ok and bed was ok. I could not find anyone to assist when I needed something. I like having use of a washer and dryer so I did not have to spend time looking for a laundromat. It was quiet except traffic but I would stay again.
