average stay due to maintenance issues
broken hob temperamental card
the location was acceptable for exploring the area on foot.
The hob did not work. several lights in the room and hallway were out. the microwave turntable was also broken. the key cards were temperamental. I often had to try multiple times to get them to work.

ideal location security measures available kitchen single towel small room floorboard creak
Our location was IDEAL near key sights. Security measures offered reassurance . The available kitchen gave us a place for meal preparation.
Only one towel was given per person for the duration of our stay. This meant more laundry. The room felt somewhat small and it was noisy. The floorboards also creaked a lot.
