awkward layoutsteep stairs
The room layout felt really awkward. i faced the toilets right as i opened the door. another door led to the bedroom, and the shower was on the other side. It didn't flow well. also, climbing those steep stairs to the third floor with my heavy suitcase after a long day traveling was not fun at all.
