Check in was pretty straightforward outside finding the right part of the building - keys and locks were standard. The room was a little smaller than the pictures made it seem, and much more 'lived in' than the picture's cleanliness lead you to believe. It is also one of 4 rooms rented out, so you will run into others most likely, and thin walls lead to noise at night and in the morning. There was a ton of construction just beginning during our stay so the outside noise was more than expected. Neighborhood is fine, but not much to walk to. On the plus, very close to the Pimlico and Victoria buses/stations that are only 15 min to downtown or other places.
