Well run and clean property with few signs of wear and tear despite high usage. Bathrooms were clean and air-circulation was good.
Only the kitchen ficilities let things down slightly due to high usage (taps loose in their fittings, communal scouring pads need more frequent replacement - one microwave was inoperable).
But would definitely stay again.

Love that they have a gym room, a tiny one but good enough for a hostel.

good stuff, beds are pretty decent, and everyone seems to respect the rules of being quite at night.
Paiden was also a nice gal who helped me
Bathrooms are a bit dirty, and some of the residents didnt respect the cleanliness of the bathroom and didnt help keep it clean
