location was ok, but some issues

loud street noise missing coffee machine

the location is quite central, placing many attractions within easy reach.

The noise levels proved problematic. Street sounds infiltrated the room late into the night. additionally, the promised coffee machine was missing from the room, a significant letdown.. i expected to have it.
