average place, some issues

enough parkingpoor drainagethin walls
there were enough parking spaces, so that was alright.
the heating did not seem to work well, it felt cold. the bathroom wasn't as clean as i hoped, and the shower wasn't draining properly. also, the noise from other rooms bothered me a bit.
