quiet roomdeficient heatingsingle room
The room was clean and quiet. No sound came from outside, a surprise given the proximity to the city center and train station.
The central heating system was deficient. I believe it contributed to my catching a cold. Only one room remained available, and I was compelled to accept it (I didn't have much choice at that time).
