The location was acceptable. It was easy to access the tube.

The room i was given felt really worn. there were stains all over the walls and carpet. It looked quite dirty. the air conditioning also didn't work very well. I set it to 10 degrees, but the room stayed around 24 degrees. i needed a fan to sleep.
