Is a more economical choice (250) Going to school is relatively close, but the overall facilities are relatively old. If you love cleanliness and hygiene, you can still do it. When I checked in, I didn't pay the cleaning fee (I don't understand why I have to pay the cleaning fee), so when I first arrived, there were leaves on the dust, and there was even a little mold in the refrigerator, and there was no place to sit on the sofa, table and chair! If the lower floor of the house allocated to the window near the tram station is very noisy, so insomnia friends should choose carefully! But if you like sanitation, this house is still good.
