Fantastic Value and Great Location!

excellent value clean room refurbished bathroom off-road parking

I found the room to be an excellent value. It was quite clean, a perfect setup for my short visit. The shared bathroom was freshly refurbished, so I found it very clean. Communication with the owner went very smoothly, and I appreciated the off-road parking space.

The building could use a bit of updating, but this did not affect the quality of my stay.
