musty smellnon-existent pressure

the windows. oh, the windows. they wouldn't open, you see, so i couldn't even air out the musty smell that permeated the entire room. and the water pressure? practically nonexistent. trying to shower seemed like standing under a leaky faucet, it just dripped. i think a good cleaning is in order too, not very clean at all. and the noise? unbearable.
