remm Akihabara
The room was clean, the AC worked fine, the bed was comfortable (had to ask for another pillow). I was put on the 18th floor and had a view from the bathroom (elevator side). Now I got lucky as the bathroom was roomy enough i could actually fully sit on the toilet (and not scrunch up ).Let me say ...
