great locationstained pillowsnon-working tv

The location was good. It was a short distance to the city center.

I arrived expecting a decent room, but the state of things was quite frustrating. The pillows and pillowcases had stains, and I found stains on the mattress protector as well.. The TV did not work at all, and builders even tried to fix it without success.
