Keskiverto
"Huone oli siisti ja vuodevaatteet uudet. Sänky oli melko kapea. Kylpyhuone siisti mutta suihkusaippuapullo oli tyhjä. Oli helleaika joten huoneessa oli kuuma. Tuuletin auttoi hieman ja pelkällä pussilakanalla nukkuminen antoi kuitenkin ihan hyvät unet. Paikka tuntui hieman "päivittämättömältä""
