The photos and description are reasonably accurate, but paint a picture sweeter than reality. The room lacked sheets and towels, the whole place smelled of drying laundry, one of the toilets was out of order, none of the kitchen items were clean enough to use -- there are a lot of things left to be desired about this place. The description says it might be a little bit dirty, but that's no excuse for hanging laundry in the common areas and having foul items in the kitchen that clearly had never been cleaned like the electric teakettle.
As if that weren't enough, the first communications I had with Alex were both puzzling and rather condescending -- almost as if Alex were trying to pressure me into leaving a good review. He complained about users who fail to properly read his description and expect a hotel experience. Perhaps if the place were a bit better kept after, it would receive fewer of the bad reviews he was complaining about!
That being said: the location was excellent and quite safe. The check-in and check-out procedure were convenient and smooth.
