The environment is quite good, but it's too hot inside. The prices are not expensive, and the regular services are fast. The staff greet you politely upon seeing you. Sometimes they charge for cleaning, like when the kitchen is very messy, but that’s actually quite normal; just pay attention to hygiene.

The apartment is relatively old, and the internal facilities are also quite old. Some rooms near the road can be a bit noisy at night, but the repair service is still quite timely; they usually come the next day.

Having a private bathroom is quite nice. The room is also quite spacious. There's a supermarket just across the street, and it's a ten-minute walk to Tesco. Daily life is pretty convenient.
