As another reviews mentions, the place is infested with bed bugs. If you dont know how bad this is, google it. You will need to be quarantined and fumigate anywhere you come into contact with furniture after. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Place smells bad, and toilets are dirty.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The wall-mounted panels, which appeared to be intended for noise cancellation, were purely decorative and provided no noticeable sound reduction. Noise from the upper level was clearly audible throughout the stay, even at midnight. Additionally, parking was limited, and the situation was further impacted by the fact that the owner sleeps on the property, occupying one of the already scarce parking spots, which further reduced availability for guests.
