The toilets weren't in a nice condition. Music is playing all day giving us headaches it doesn't make us work faster it makes it harder for us to work. Just the one bedroom toilet and shower was kept in good condition.

Sound can be heard clear as day through doors of rooms that you can hear other peoples conversations word for word. Not great when losing sleep cause of the loud noises.
