The front ladies were nice and friendly. The place has a swimming pool. Quite open spaces which is nice. Good WI Fi. Great location near public transport and shops. Great vibes for a hostel/ shared accomodation
The carpet on the other house needs to go. It's not clean and dull. ? Shower heads needs to be replaced. Also they've really squeezed them in. The young cleaning lady needs to shut it down a bit. She is always singing loud with headphones, talking on the phone till 2 ams, unfriendly and just annoying.
