some issues dulled the experience

daily varietyfaulty air conditioningnoisy environment
breakfast included enough choices each day to provide some variety.
the air conditioning did not work properly. it never cooled the room even when i set it to 16°c. sleeping with the balcony door open was necessary, but then barking dogs and buzzing mopeds became frequent.. not ideal.
