adequate stay

adequate studioclean roomhandy kitchenettecramped kitchenpoor designlimited space
the studio room was adequate. it was also clean. the room included a kitchenette plus tables with chairs and a sofa.
i booked an apartment. the layout of the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom was cramped plus poorly designed. there was not enough space to move around comfortably, and we kept bumping into things.

Mixed feelings about the stay

convenient locationsmall roominadequate lighting
The location was convenient with easy access to transportation.
The room felt quite small and lacked basic amenities. There was no daily cleaning service unless staying more than seven days. I also found the room lighting to be inadequate and the switches confusing to use (it was a bit frustrating).
