Mary was very responsive before I made my reservation, before I checked in, and after I left (when I had to go back and retrieve my phone recharger). The noise of the area did not bother me at all (it is quite lively outside the building), but she places earplugs in the room just in case. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, and the room was spacious and welcoming. If you don't mind sharing bathrooms with strangers, this is an excellent accommodation. Also, there are lots of restaurants, markets, evening spots and theaters within walking distance.
