Ami H.: The display on Trench Art and religious imagery crafted by combatants out of artillery shells, bullets, and other tools of war was particularly interesting and poignant.

Ami H.: Usually comfortable, inexpensive accommodation w/ friendly professional front desk staff that will sort u out if u have any problems, like say, with a next door 3am reefer & prozzy party.
