Cons: Quite far from the city centre, in a dodgy neighbourhood. I could hear anything from the other rooms and there was a bad smell in the entire house.

Cons: Strange smell in the room, wifi didn't work, and wardrobe smelled terrible- had to hang coat on picture frame or door hinge

Get new towels

Pros: The wi-fi speed was decent

Cons: The towels are pre-cambrian with holes the soze of pangea and need to be replaced. There were chunks of food and cigarette butts on the window ledge (outside). TV didn't work. Walk-through was rushed and rude.
