The most important facilities for me are free Wi-Fi, refreshments available all day, and a space for outdoor activities. Additionally, the place must be close to the city center, near the bus or train station.

The most important facilities for me when I attend a conference or meeting are restaurants and open spaces like gardens or forests. I enjoy trying different kinds of food, and I also appreciate good quality. Additionally, I like trekking, so I prioritize these two things.
