Reviews
The ventilation was very bad though – the aircon didn’t stop the room being very stuffy and smelly.
If the window was openable (even by 10 or 20cm) that would make it a lot nicer, and probably wouldn’t let anyone fall out.
It would also be much nicer if there was a kettle in the room, to save having to go downstairs to get a cup of coffee
