inconveniences during stay

poorly lit stairs missing outlet

the absence of a lift was a PROBLEM. my room was on the second floor and required navigating four flights of poorly lit stairs. this posed a significant challenge given my mobility issues. also the washbasin lacked a pop-up waste outlet making it impossible to fill for proper washing.
