The location is a short enough walk to downtown, but the neighborhood is a bit on the gritty side. There are a some boarded buildings in the area, a lot of trash in the streets and on the outdoor steps, and on occasion, people would drink outside the door. The place is very nice. It's very clean and well stocked. The checkin process is easy. The loft bed is a little tight in terms of headroom. I'm 6'4" (194cm) and, at my age, 58, the ladder can be a little tricky after a few beers. The bed was comfortable. There's a bus top right outside the door that is on the route that goes to the airport.
