Loved the location, proximity to music, connection to people moving through

− There was a lot of excess drinking happening and it made the environment full of friction

era tutto apposto, belle docce rispetto ad altri ostelli che ho visto sembrava quasi quella di casa, c’era caldo nonostante fuori facesse freddissimo e per la colazione ci siamo trovate bene (c’era pane per toast dove potevi mettere marmellata, burro d’arachid o miele; poi c’era il latte, caffè o tè; e infine cereali, ovviamente a disposizione posate, tazze, ciotole, microonde ecc),. ottima posizione per prendere la metro che era a 6/7 minuti a piedi, c’era vicino una fontanella per il refill dell’acqua, il mc, kfc, tesco e poundland quindi c’era tutto quello che una persona potesse cercare.

− musica troppo alta venerdi e sabato, i bassi facevano tremare le mura, con i tappi un po meglio ma avevo paura di non sentire la sveglia quindi non li ho usati
