The host was very friendly and welcoming. However, this was an odd stay.
We were there two nights. The first we were very surprised by the amount of homeless people around the hotel. This made us feel very uncomfortable. Especially as the first person we met at the hotel was a homeless guy leaving the venue.
The second day felt different due to more tourist a locals being in the area.
The venue reminded us a lot of our backpacking days where the accomodations not great and you spend more time away from the venue. If that's the type of balance you want to strike then this place is good value and close to the amazing trams.
