clean roomstatement windowssmall television
The room was very clean. It was definitely well-kept (which I super appreciate!). The two big statement windows looked out onto the museum. The en-suite was clean and neat with a shower, extractor fan, and toiletries bin.
The room was quite small. The television on top of the wardrobe did not work because there was no signal from the aerial.
