Acceptable, but some issues need addressing.

steep stairs shared bathroom

The location proved useful.

The stairs were quite steep. Not ideal with luggage. The shared bathroom situation was not clearly indicated. There were four rooms sharing two bathrooms, which led to some inconvenient waits in the morning. the room felt a bit dated.
