usb portsuseful tablewaresurveillance camera
The room had USB ports and a good number of outlets. This was quite useful for charging multiple devices at once. The kitchenette included some tableware. That was quite convenient. A bike rack was located outside directly under a surveillance camera, I found this reassuring.
There was no hand soap for the sink. This was a slight oversight.

The location rules! i walked right over from the train station. the shower had amazing water pressure and hot water, felt so good! the free use of the washing machine, including the detergent, was a huge plus for me. I really appreciated that.
