Property access after hours average in wet weather and no lighting. Steps and stairs very steep with high step up made carrying luggage difficult. Very basic inclusions.

Liked the location and proximity to sights and city centre. Room was very clean,modern and spacious. Didn't like the noise levels as the room faced the main road.
