quite good experience
central locationroom sizeadults fitimpractical roomstorage spaceshower pressure
I loved the convenience. the location is super central. room 6 was perfect. It fit three adults and one child comfortably. i found this very useful!
the room felt impractical. there weren't enough spaces for our belongings. i saw only tiny drawers and a small wardrobe for storage, that was not enough for me! the shower didn't have great pressure, i felt this was dissapointing.
