Honestly for the location and price you can’t beat it. Your private bathroom being across your room took getting used to but it wasn’t that bad.

Nice place to stay, room was nice. The shared kitchen was a nice add. Dishes were provided, and the refrigerator had a water and ice option. You can cook and bake which a few people did. Everyone was quiet-in the building. Good location near everything. Good area never felt unsafe. Parking was good.
