I found the staff friendly. they offered helpful tips for exploring the area! free street parking was a plus. the bus stop is conveniently located right outside the hotel. It provides direct access to the city center.
The shared bathroom wasn't always super clean. i noticed some dirt on the wooden floors, especially between the boards. It made my feet a bit dirty at times.

the hosts were cute! a bus stop is conveniently right outside. a train station is also just a 5 minute walk away. the location is quite convenient.
The bathrooms cleanliness was only mid, that is because they are shared. the floors were also a bit dirty! i think this is a common problem with wooden floors as dirt can hide between the boards. the water in the kettle smelled terrible. Water had clearly stagnated. the kettle needed cleaning.
