easy reachstreet noisecooking utensils

the location was acceptable, placing me within easy reach of city amenities.

My room faced the street, so i experienced significant noise late into the night. Sleep was difficult. the in-room kitchenette, while convenient, lacked essential cooking utensils and adequate ventilation. this made even simple meal preparations challenging and resulted in lingering food odors.

The room was spacious and tidy. The location provided great access to the city center (I needed to be close to everything). The host was helpful .

The shared bathroom was quite small. Street noise was noticeable at night. The sink in the room was tiny (it was hard to wash my face there).
