back alleyfloral carpet

i found the parking area less than ideal. accessing it involved navigating a back alley, and i noticed some rubbish. inside, the floral carpet seemed quite outdated and some paint was chipped. the room felt a bit cramped considering it was designated as a family room. the kettle filling process was awkward because it didn't fit under the tap.
