Most guests praise the friendly owner and convenient spot near the train and hospitals, but a recent one-star review flagged serious dust throughout, damaged mattress springs, and only two usable bedrooms despite ads showing three. The cleanliness complaint stands in sharp contrast to older five-star reviews mentioning a clean house.
