Sara had a problem with the heater in her apartment
I was informed about it on the same day of my arrival
So instead of staying at her place, she booked a room for me in the hotel that is in the same building as her apartment.
The room was very small, very basic and I was able to hear everything happening in the rooms next door. I didn't feel comfortable at all and I didn't feel "safe" enough staying there alone as a woman and walking back to the hotel alone at night.
The weather wasn't that cold, so I would have been able to sleep at Sara's apartment even though the heater wasn't working. I am not sure what was happening exactly but I wasn't convinced with the excuse and I honestly wouldn't book there again.
The area is very popular, crowded, I always had to pay attention to my stuff while walking ...
Cheers
Carmen
