It’s good to see you consistently practicing your writing.

2) The best things: You don’t have to clean the room. You can order food to the room.
The worst things: You don’t have a sofa or a Kitchen.
3) Yes I feel confortable but when I stay for a several days in the hotel I want to stay at home with my wardrobe.
4) I think It’s a good idea for students or people that don’t have so much money. For me I don’t like, I think It could be dangerous.
5) I think It’s the hotel. Right now Airbnb is more an more common.
