acceptable stay, notable drawbacks

easy accesssmall wardrobesloping floor
the location provided easy access to nearby attractions..
I found the room smaller than advertised. storage was definitely inadequate. One small wardrobe was not enough for two people's belongings. the sloping floors also took some getting used to, a quirk of the building's age, but not entirely welcome
