This place needs a complete makeover! From the nasty carpet, bulging ceiling, mildew in the shower/tub, number of flies we had to kill, no windows except the one out to the walk way and the tiny one with the very loud air conditioning unit. Then there was the light coming in through the door frame. I sure hope they can update things!
