The space is cozy and bright with all the basic necessities, plus enough room to walk around. The only downside is that the walls are a bit thin, but that's alright. The neighborhood is bustling with students and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. It’s safe even when walking around at night. It's a 15-minute stroll to my university, but there are also buses that come frequently if you'd rather not walk.
