mismatched furnitureshared bathroom
The room was quite bare. It needed more than just the basics. The furniture felt old and mismatched. The shared bathroom needed more attention. It just didn't seem properly maintained, i saw some dirt and possible ceiling debris in the sink one morning. It felt overpriced considering these issues. I expected a bit more for the money.
