The location is excellent, the staff was helpful and courteous, and check in/out was easy. The general funkiness of the place was cool, but the room I was in itself was more like a dormitory or hostel than a hotel room. Spare, bare bones. An open closet with plenty of hangers, but not a single drawer. Curtains, but no sheers on windows that were looking directly into the building across the street. It seemed generally clean, except for the carpet, which I was reluctant to step on. As for cleaning myself, the shower in my room was hot, but the water stream did not shower, rather it trickled. I was in one other room which was considerably nicer. No carpet, larger. I would see if it is possible to get photos of the actual room you are reserving and pay for the one that will best suit you. I did sleep well, at least until the doors started slamming repeatedly in the early morning (maybe because I was right next to the dining room/kitchen), and breakfast was very good.
