Overpriced

Bit disappointment for the stay. The studio is small, the sofa bed is very uncomfortable. Can’t open curtains as there are people stay at the back of house kept walking pass. There is no privacy. It is a garage converted to studio, not proper walls, just glass window with curtain. It is overpriced for what it is. We only stay there because we have a dog. There are maintenance need to be done. Looks like the owner just keep everything cheap but charge premium price.
