Average Stay with a Few Snags
weak shower pressure noticeable dog odor
The shower pressure was practically nonexistent, a trickle really. I also noticed a distinct odor of dogs throughout the building. It seems the owners' pets have made their presence quite known downstairs. The noise was quite noticeable, too. I could hear almost everything happening next door.
