The actual interior of the room we booked was adequate. It had a nice bed, a TV, a nice bathroom with shower, and most importantly was clean. It was small, like a hotel room, but that's ok.
The window faces a busy street but blocked out the noise quite well when closed. We didn't get hot, either, even though it was around 23C.
The exterior was kind of sketchy, with people loitering and smoking when we first arrived. And we saw people littering and smelled urine in near the door, but we can't blame Tim for that. Like I said, once inside the place things were pleasant.
The biggest issue, though, was the upstairs neighbor. Whoever lives above decided to move furniture until 1:30am (a Monday night/Tuesday morning) the night before we left to catch our flight. It must have been heavy stuff because the ceiling is concrete and we used ear plugs but could still hear things. We woke up before 7:00am and got ready to leave when we heard things being moved around again before 8:00am. This put a damper on our stay.
Things under Tim's control were just fine, but unfortunately he can't control what happens outside his place. His neighbor made us want to find a hotel around midnight just to get some sleep since the noise had been going on for hours. It was awful and I hate to leave a bad review since it was not Tim's fault, but I also want to warn others.
