    "The photos on the website are misleading — the rooms are much smaller than they appear, and there’s barely any space to store luggage. The location, however, is excellent. There are plenty of shops nearby, and the train station is only a block away. Housekeeping serviced the room daily, which was appreciated"

Interestingly, there were multiple items for you to purchase from the non-refrigerator box,..."
