Hi Nicola,
Thanks for your reply. I hope you enjoyed your travels!
I am okay with a shower over the bath, as I do have use of my legs still – I mainly struggle with long walks and standing for a long time which impacts my energy levels on top of everything else. If I use the wheelchair for the majority of the time, I will be able to use a ‘standard’ bathroom without issue.
Thank you so much for your advice on the metro map and accessibility – I didn’t even think about an accessibility map! This is super helpful. I also appreciate you sharing the pics of your room in your hotel! This sounds fantastic and will defo take a look. Again really appreciate your advice and recommendations 😀
