easy taxiconstant honkinginconsistent water temperature
The location was good and easy to get a taxi.
The street noise was quite loud. I did not anticipate that level of noise. The constant honking made it hard to sleep, and earplugs were almost a requirement for a good night's rest. the water temperature in the shower was difficult to regulate, SO it was hard to keep a consistent temperature.
