mixed feelings about this stay.

convenient locationlimited storage spacepoor noise isolation
the location was convenient for museum visits.
The room felt quite cramped and lacked sufficient storage space. the noise isolation was also poor. I could clearly hear sounds from the hallway, disturbing my rest. the limited number of power sockets made charging devices inconvenient.
