Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The window had a leak and cold air blowed all night. Since it was a windy night, it felt like train was passing all night with the sound of compressed air howling. The property looks like 3 star at best. The bathroom looks old and faded.

I was very happy indeed. Excellent location. Water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but that is easy to cope with. Instructions for using the TV remote would be helpful. Not everyone works that out intuitively.
