Would not recommend

Liked: Bed was comfy and room was super cheap.
Disliked: Bathroom was not clean with a dirty razor in the shower. Floor of our bedroom had gunk and dirt all over it. Locals that lived there were nice but kept us up til 3am setting off fireworks right in front of our room. Not a great location either.
