Prime location for light luggage traveller, there’s no lift in the building, so is not suitable for heavy traveller.

Room is too small and air circulation is bad, no ventialation,
Cleaniness is not upto the mark, you can see debris from previous lodger at the edges o the room. Location is perfect and the owner is frendly.
