The location was special, very close to the subway station and so many good restaurants and shops. the neighborhood felt safe and cute. i also appreciated the completeness of the bathroom amenities. They thought of everything, removing any worry about packing extra items.

The room size was smaller than i anticipated. Maneuvering with luggage was a bit challenging. the air conditioning seemed to have limited control. The temperature was difficult to adjust to my comfort. i also noticed a lack of closet space. This.
