inconsistent water temperature cold wind
The shower was not up to par. The water temperature was inconsistent. I could not adjust it to a comfortable level. significant gaps existed around the window frames, allowing cold wind to enter the room. The noise from outside was also noticeable. The overall lack of proper insulation affected my sleep.
