the shower's water pressure was insufficient. it barely trickled out, not providing an adequate washing experience. this made basic hygiene a challenge.

The communal kitchen was fully equipped. I found everything I needed to cook meals. There are also shops close by. I liked that I could park on the driveway. The location is good as it is close to cafes and restaurants.
