adequate stay, some issues
advantageous locationslippery shower controlobstructed view
the location proved advantageous. it was central and easy to access.
The shower's temperature control was problematic. it was difficult to adjust, delivering water that was either too hot or not hot enough. also, the room had a window, it offered no view. A wall was visible just a short distance away when opened.

fantastic locationspacious roomlive musicdifficult showerfrosted windowpigeon noise
the location was fantastic! i could easily walk to everything i wanted to see. the room was also quite spacious! there was definitely enough room to move around. the pub below had live music on friday evenings. it stopped at a reasonable hour though.
The shower was difficult to use. It was hard to find a comfortable temperature. the window in my room was frosted, so i could not see outside. i could hear pigeons near the window.
