constant noise portable air conditioner
The location was alright. A ten-minute walk from the train station, not bad.
the noise level was something else, seriously. street sounds and bar chatter kept me up, a real party outside. plus, the portable air conditioner was so loud, it's like they wanted to make sure i didn't get any sleep. why even bother with windows?
