The only thing I would have preferred, was the bathroom to be slightly larger. There were 3 and it would have been better to spend the space making one out of the two. I travelled with a bad knee that I couldn't bend properly and I could barely open my legs or close the door. I can't imagine being a tall man in that bathroom!
