Individual rooms didn’t have locks on the lockers or enough space for bags. Had to trust the room mates would keep the bedroom door locked. One female bathroom had no hot water. Showers weren’t that clean. But clean enough I guess. Kitchen busy but you could make food if you wanted to. The building smelt at one point. Pretty sure it was someone’s food. Couches, tvs, kitchen, etc. You get what you pay for. A room, bed, place to sleep eat and shower.

I don't even know where to start. I expected not too much after reading references but it was way worse. Two times firealarm, one at 5am in the morning and it occurs to happen regularly. People disrespectful and noisy all night long, strange and smelly long term people. Kitchen disgusting. I already payed for a single room but still couldn't get any sleep. Can't recommend to stay here unless you are after partying all night long.
