the location was acceptable, in a central area.
i was quite disappointed by the room. it felt outdated, with furniture that seemed worn. the parquet flooring creaked loudly, both in the hallways and on the stairs. the windows offered poor insulation, and the doors slammed shut easily. i experienced disrupted sleep due to the noise and lack of proper blackout curtains.
