basic stay with drawbacks

convenient locationunpleasant odorinconvenient placement

the location proved convenient for accessing local transport links.

The room lacked sufficient ventilation, requiring the window to remain open. the toilet emitted an unpleasant odor. the separate placement of the toilet and shower close to the bed was quite inconvenient. I felt cold immediately after showering.
