dusty room shower flooding

the location was decent enough. it was close enough to things.

i found the room to be quite dusty. i suspect the cleaning crew skipped a spot or two, or maybe all of them. also, the shower had this peculiar habit of flooding the bathroom floor. a minor inconvenience, i suppose.

The room felt quite worn, it needs some updating. The carpet had noticeable stains. the noise from the street was louder than I expected, even late at night. I could hear a tram passing by.
