Work Family balance, done well

Business trip with family, super comfortable apartment style room with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Comfy couch, perfect table for dinner and spreading out documents for work. Separate rooms so children can sleep while the parents keep working, perfect arrangement. 25 m pool for those who need to fit in a few laps and a well equipped Gym to make up for screen time. To that, add that it was quiet enough to get a great sleep and with a view of the harbour from the terrace, felt like a home away from home. Thanks :).
