awesome location and super clean rooms!
handy location clean room
The guest house location was perfect, just a short walk to the city center. there are buses and trams nearby. It's super convenient! the room was unbelievably clean, probably the cleanest i have ever stayed in. i really liked the straightforward access to the building and the friendly communication.
The shower pressure was a little low. It was sometimes difficult to get the right temperature since it alternated between hot and cold.
