automatic fan cold apartment
the location was central, though the parking was a bit tight.
I didn't love the automatic bathroom fan. It was quite noisy and seemed to turn on every time i entered. also, the view wasn't great, just of the road. the apartment felt a little cold too, even with the heating on.
