People who run the place are so lovely and nice which makes it a great place to stay.
Only problem, there’s a few undesirables that come and go, but you get that everywhere. Very Loud languages and coughing up flem sounds non stop in hallways also drove me a little nuts.
Overall it’s a good place to stay if you are looking for accommodation and have a bit of patience.
And the managers are the best. They are beautiful, helpful and smiley people who give all their intention on what you need.
Thanks a lot for everything The Rotten Apple and guys who are reading this comment: join #therottenapplefamily :))
