Could not get to the toilet unless you wedged yourself in the corner of the sink and shower so you could close the door because the toilet was BEHIND the door.

Quiet at night2216Split
The elevator is extremely noisy, and each stop on a floor generates a beeping sound that is perfectly audible from the room.

Parties with extreme noise and light effects in the courtyard went on until 4 a.m., making sleep possible only during the day.
