Good size room, I didn’t like the overall appearance of the property. I didn’t like that first floor rooms have a back door and the back door alley smells like sewage and urine.

The light interruptor is OUTSIDE the room, so you need to get out in the cold midnight half naked to turn it off. Then in the morning the same to turn it on again.
