laut, stickig und dunkel

ich musste im apartment zu viele ameisen und andere 6-beiner rausschmeissen, als dass ich eine bessere bewertung geben könnte. auch ist das apartment extrem laut, man ist quasi mitten in der bar, welche auf der gegenüberliegenden strassenseite liegt. auch hört man alles aus den anderen wohnungen. mit 60/nacht zu teuer für was es ist, zumal weder gelüftet werden kann noch die sonne das apartment jemals erreichen wird.
