central location clean room good breakfast muddy tap water thin walls room noise
The location was FANTASTIC! It was within easy walking distance to just about everything. We even took the metro, but honestly, we could have walked everywhere. The room was clean and efficiently set up. I found everything I needed. The breakfast was good, I ate fresh fruits every day.
The tap water wasn't great, it looked muddy and yellow. I hesitated to shower even. The walls were thin, I could hear everything from the next room. It was hard to sleep the first night because of the noise next door.
