My room had a useful kitchen. I cooked several meals. There was a washing machine and dryer right in the apartment. This made doing laundry so easy. The apartment also had air conditioning and fans for comfortable temperatures.
The ice machine was out of service . I had to buy ice from a local shop. It was a minor inconvenience overall.
