“The mattress on the bed is fine, but my radiator pipes keep making noises.”
“The kitchen really should have an actual table, somewhere everyone can comfortably gather. Right now the breakfast bar setup is pretty awful, and those high chairs cause real back pain if you sit in them for more than about five minutes. It feels like the entire space is made for one person to cook, grab a quick bite for no more than five minutes, and then disappear back to their room for some quiet.”
“Put in a microwave and a dishwasher for the kitchen. Also, make the showers run warmer, because the water never really gets hot.”
“The place was generally clean, but I think they could provide a few more starter supplies right when students first move in.”
“I had the walls and hallways soundproofed.”
