“While the price might initially catch the eye, reports suggest a stay here could be quite unsettling. Tales of unclean rooms, broken windows hastily patched with tape, and a general sense of insecurity paint a concerning picture, making it hard to recommend despite any initial savings.”

The shared kitchen had everything I needed. The house was stylish. It had a subdued contemporary design. The room had a comfortable atmosphere.
The lock on the door was faulty. The flooring was a mess. Laminate was lifted up. I also found earwigs in the bed.
