mixed feelings about my stay

musty odor non-functional lift
I must say, the initial impression wasnt great. a distinct musty odor filled the hallway, a smell i found quite UNpleasant. moreover, the non-functional lift was a real inconvenience, especially after a long day. I was stuck with the dodgy stairs.
