The courtyard in the building where I’m staying, the Corvin Point Hostel. That’s artillery damage from the Hungarian Uprising of 1956.
It was a little freaky at first, damaged and run-down that it felt, but now that I’m settled in it feels quite normal. I’ve got a small private room with great windows, a bathroom, fridge, tv, desk, and cupboard. Even a/c that you have to pay extra to use but just opening the windows has done the trick. I should add that the room and the corridors are perfectly clean.
