8/10 Good

It’s well located. The price value you can’t beat for the city. The pool area is super slippery and scary when wet. Accident prone big time. House keeping was sloppy. Stayed 2 days, added another 2 - sheets never changed or floor vacuumed. Check in was really bad. As always locals are super sweet though. Noisy as windows allow noise through somehow. Nice bathroom amenities and modern setting with the rooms and common space.
