okay stay with some hiccups

handy locationtemperamental showernoisy neighbors

the location was indeed quite handy, close to the main attractions.

The shower's temperature was more of a suggestion than a setting. It fluctuated wildly (a fun surprise every morning!). i also heard every footstep from other guests, so bring earplugs.
