a mixed bag, really
worn carpets better soundproofing
The room i got was definitely showing its age. The carpets looked a bit worn. also, the noise was a problem. i could hear everything outside, especially early in the morning with bins being dragged. It really interrupted my sleep. i think some better soundproofing would work wonders. it would have been nice to sleep better.
