Weekdays
Try groceries, cooking, calls, showering and laundry, recording actual problems.
Different hours
Assess morning and evening noise, light, access and staff availability.
Decision
Separate fixable defects from an unsuitable location; a discount cannot change the address.
Record the result of the check
Keep clear evidence for each essential condition: a message, document or your own photograph. Distinguish confirmed details from verbal assurances. Resolve the specific uncertainty before paying or proceeding; a lack of objection is not the same as agreement.
