The heating in the room wasn't working well. I had to switch to cooling because the heat kept going to 75 degrees, which was too hot for me. The room was tiny, tiny, tiny. The view from the room was just a wall and a storm sewer. I wanted to open the window, but was afraid of funky things coming out of the hole in the floor.
