What activities? The TV didn't work and there was WIFI? The place had dirt stains everywhere, and blood stains on the bed sheets. Not clean at all. There is also holes in the walls, so make sure you say something. Goodluck trying to sleep at night with low flying planes gets really loud. The photos they have is not the same as the room your going to sleep in.
