A few issues dampened the stay.

bathroom lightinginadequate storage
I must point out a few concerns from my stay. The bathroom lighting proved insufficient. It made applying makeup a challenge. There was also inadequate space for hanging wet towels. I had to leave them draped over furniture. I also observed a slight slope in the floor. This. Some additional storage for clothing would be a game changer too.

The location was acceptable due to many shops to eat close by.
I found a big problem with the lights. Hallway lights are so dark. I also had a dark room. I wanted brighter lights.
