adequate LOCATION, BUT room ISSUES

sewage smell no bedside lamp

the location was fairly central WHICH was alright for getting around.

my room wasn't great I must say. a strong sewage smell came from the bathroom, REALLY making it unpleasant. ALSO, there was no bedside lamp, MEANING i had to use the main light or stay in complete darkness.
