Pluses and minuses. After humping our suitcases up 97 steps from the sidewalk (not an easy task) we walked in to a bedsit style accommodation with windows from the apartment in the next building looking directly into our room. There was even a guy working there. So privacy meant having to close the drapes. We would have appreciated two folding luggage racks instead of having to work out of our suitcases on the floor (this is not something that is even expensive).
To be clear this is a two star, slightly shabby, student style accommodation. The pluses include the building being quite, clean, and spacious enough you are not tripping over each other. The price was affordable. The biggest negatives are the stairs and the bathroom (there is a reason the photo doesn't show the bathroom). The shower drains onto the floor. The cabinet under the sink is disintegrating. After three days the bathroom had a wet, dank smell. It was also tiny and unheated. The kitchen counter and cupboards are starting to de-laminate (not immediately visible in the photo). There is no central heating or air-conditioning. There are two portable heaters in the bedroom/sitting area. The wall heater in the kitchen and bathroom do not work. The tv had a "no signal" message. The couch faces away from the tv - rather unusual, but since the tv didn't work anyway it wasn't a big deal. This accommodation is more suited to young, fit people on a budget. The accommodation was "okay" but the posted photo suggested something better.
