good locationdusty cabinetrushed cleaning
the location was good, being close to the train station and the city center met my needs.
The room wasn't cleaned properly. i noticed streaks on the mirrors, it was the cleaning was rushed. also, the tv cabinet was dusty and untouched. The same went for the shelving units. this made me question what else was missed during cleaning.
