"The room wasn't great, the toilet wasn't working, the window wasn't working (the whole panel can pop off), there were fleas, the light switches in the rooms didn't work, and there was a lot of trash left like Ozempic and a Tequila bottle cap. It felt like a crack den, however, we loved the crack den vibes, especially if you are doing the substances lol. The trees were alive and staring at us, the paintings were dancing. Everything felt like an oil painting, almost as if an oil painting had worms...
