I liked this property. The room was nice and big and clean. The neighbourhood was easy to navigate. The only significant complaint is that the water pressure in the shower was absolutely terrible - turning up the water for pressure also meant turning up the temperature of the water so the options were trickling and cold or reasonable pressure and boiling. It hasn't deterred me from rebooking - hopefully it is just a problem in that particular room
