creaky floor european plug
The location allowed for easy access to the pantry and lounge. This was a plus.
The room was not up to par. I found that the floors creaked significantly. The TV wasn't working when I arrived and needed fixing. Plus, there was a European plug hairdryer but no European plug socket in the room.
