Windowless

If you have rooms with no windows (and 30cm of glass bricks doesnt count as a window) then you should declare that in the listing. An industrial hum through the wall all night and the circulation of a windowless box. At a low price it would be fine, but i paid plenty more and that's comical. I mentioned it to staff who said it was listed as "no view" lol
