Pros:

Läget var bra!

Cons:

Lite av att bo i en studentkorridor! Slitet. Smutsigt kök. Kvarglömd bröd och odiskade kastruller med gammal luktande olja i köksskåpen! En spis utan passande plåtar ! Innan vi använde tallrikar var vi tvungna att diska bort gamla matrester! Tar man 1100 kr natten måste man hålla rent i gemensamma utrymmen. Dessutom skulle det var bra om man såg över rummen ! Vi hade sängar som håll på att rasa då ingen draget till skruvarna på sängbenen ! Nej inte kan man säga att det var prisetvärt !

Pros:

Sijainti on loistava, samoin sängyt ja petivaatteet. Hiljaista. Autopaikat lähellä. Auton pystyy lastauksenajaksi ajamaan oven eteen. Lähellä hotelli, missä voi maksusta käydä aamiaisella.

Cons:

Wc:ssä oli todella voimakas virtsanhaju koko ajan. Lapset eivät kyenneet pesemään hampaitaan siellä, koska olisivat oksentaneet hajun vuoksi. Yövyimme täällä mennen tullen pohjoiseen ja sama haju oli molemmilla kerroilla. Plussaa olisi jos, pedit olisi petattu valmiiksi. Nyt piti itse laittaa lakanat paikalleen.

Shopping på Ikea och på köpcentrat i Torneå.
Pros:

Boendet var bra och rummet enkelt och bra.

Cons:

Jag tycker att kostar boendet över tusen kronor natten bör det ingå frukost. Det gjorde det inte.
