The room was was small, walls were paper thin. Could hear the people in another room/ apartment talking/swearing. Children were hollering and pounding on their door. Bed linens were dirty and flies were in the room. They did upgraded us to another room,but that was not much better. Well off the main road. We ended up leaving. Would not recommend.
