    Very nice location, easy to get to by bus, easy to walk to nearby places. The contactless entry process worked very well. Room was clean and the place was not overcrowded at all, actually had a room to myself.

    I didn't explore the kitchen thoroughly. I wasn't hungry in the morning, though if I had been I probably would have been satisfied. Bagels and yogurt. No fruit in the house, though.
