limited space ineffective soundproofing
The size of the room proved rather limited. It felt cramped. also, the advertised soundproofing was not entirely effective. i could hear noises from adjacent rooms and the outside, which disrupted my sleep. This needs addressing, the location was perfect! though the parking was expensive.
