"La douche est un bac de 70x70cm avec une ouverture de 35cm. Si vous faites plus de 65kg impossible d’y rentrer et de bouger dedans. De plus aucun feutres sous les pieds de la table et de la chaise et les crissements à chaque déplacement dans cet espace confiné, tard le soir ou tôt le matin réveille tout l’immeuble. Les boîtes à clés sont mal éclairées obligeant à sortir sa torche tout en manipulant le code."
