some issues
clinical bathroompeeling wallpaper
The accessible room i was given felt sterile, more like a care home than a cozy place. the bathroom needed a serious scrub. No toilet lid, nowhere for my toiletries, and the shower barely trickled. i found two plug sockets not working and a mini fridge so loud i had to switch it off. seriously, the paint peeling and wallpaper coming off the walls made it clear this place needs an upgrade-a big one.
