poor insulation city view
Honestly, the soundproofing was non-existent. It was hard to sleep because of noise. i could clearly hear the guests above, their footsteps amplified by the poorly insulated wooden floor. it was like they were tap-dancing all night. plus, the promised city views? more like a view of the neighboring building's wall.
