Hotel or apartment changes what you pack

Short answer: With a washing machine you can cover a week with three sets. With only a sink, you have to pack for more days and wash the thin things.

A washing machine changes everything

With access to a machine you can bring half as much. Pack for three days and wash halfway through. See bamboo clothing for women.

Without a machine, bring thin items

If you can only wash by hand, bring things that dry overnight. Thick socks do not. See bamboo underwear for women.

Towels come with the hotel

In a hotel you need no towel. In an apartment they are often not included. See bamboo towels.
