difficult carpark access expensive street parking

the carpark access presented considerable challenges. maneuvering within it demanded a frustrating number of turns. i ended up paying to park on the street. the street parking had a four-hour limit between 8 am and 10 pm. this added unexpected costs to my stay, .
