faulty hairdryerabsent air conditioning
the hairdryer in my room was not working well. the inspection label said it was due in 2021, thats ages ago. it made me a little worried. also, there wasnt air conditioning. it was so cold when i walked in. a tiny radiator tried to heat things, but it wasnt enough. i wish i knew this before my stay. this messed things up a bit.
