Would stay again. It’s downtown so you get a minor drug issue, but basically lasts 2 blocks and then you’re in the beautiful downtown.

The accommodation itself was fine although old, but the smell inside was unbearable resembling that of urine. The surrounding streets are unfortunately lined with homeless which made me very uncomfortable walking.
