Mycket trevlig personal i receptionen

Blev hänvisad till fel apartment. Lyckligt att den rättte hyresgästen accepterade att bli tilldelad en annan, vilket annars hade betytt att vi fått packa ihop och flytta till ett annat rum. Däremot faceigenkänning för att komma åt hissarna fungerade aldrig, trots flera omfotograferingar.
