An Apartment with a Convenient Location

clean apartment convenient location nearby restaurant terrible sleep quality loud noise broken door
the apartment was very clean. it was also warm and cute. the location was great, with many restaurants nearby. there was also a short walk to the city centre.
sleep quality was honestly terrible. noise at night was unbearable. loud road noise persisted all night with racing cars and blaring music. the double gate door did not close properly and slammed shut every few minutes with the wind.
