acceptable stay with notable drawbacks

convenient locationmold in bathroomimpractical layout
The location proved satisfactory, with its proximity to the train station. This made commuting relatively convenient.
The cleanliness was below par. I observed mold in the bathroom and dampness on the walls. additionally, the bathroom layout was impractical, requiring maneuvering around the toilet to shower. The space felt cramped and unhygienic.
