a mediocre stay overall

torn bed linen poor space
the location was indeed very convenient, especially its proximity to major tourist attractions.
the room i stayed in had some issues, the bed linen was torn and there was a very low shower head, it made showering quite difficult. the space inside the apartment was poorly utilized and a wardrobe door was obstructed by another piece of furniture, it felt cramped and not well thought out.
