Looks better online

A bit run down from what the picture shows. Much smaller space than pictured. Bed area and decor look nice (pictured) but other half of room is dank like a cheap motel. Bad carpet and very small bathroom. Noisy area with train and tram nearby. Could also hear the neighbors late at night.
