good host easy check-in random stuff negative impact
jing was a very good host. the check-in was easy. it was very clean and spacious. we were provided with milk, coffee, tea, bread, fruits and bottled water.
the neighbour is making noises on the bathroom wall and started shouting random stuff. she is not an actual security threat but this had a negative impact on our overall feeling. i felt i could not ignore this
