"It is in a nice and convenient part of town. They did not have good directions for getting into the property. Did not even explain that there was another bathroom to use with a shower which would have been nice considering the bathrooms were always occupied. Worth the stay, but could have been better. "

"From the address provided via Expedia, it is impossible to find this property. Had it not been for a caring and persistent taxi driver, I would never have found it. This accommodation is one large apartment with 5-6 bedrooms. You are renting a bedroom and have access to the kitchen, living room, etc., shared with anyone else who is staying there. After finally finding the place after 2 hours of searching, I left and checked into the Ramada next door. "
