Room was disgusting. Dirt and dust beside fridge hasn't been cleaned in years by the looks No sink. Had to rinse your dishes in bathroom..Very poor layout Don't stay upstairs. All I heard was people walking up and down. No toilet roll on holder. Toilet seat was falling off. I would not recommend ...
