mixed feelings about the stay
small wardrobe street noise
the room felt too warm, even with the thermostat turned down. i also wasnt happy with the noise levels at night. i could hear a lot of street noise and some music, it made it difficult to fall asleep. the room size seemed smaller than it looked online, i find that disappointing. the wardrobe was also quite small, it was hard to store my things.
