Pros: Great that it was so close to bus station.
Cons: The stairs were tough going as we are both over 70, but that's not Murrays fault ,I could have checked.

Wenn ich mir in ein altes Haus als Quartier aussuche, nehme ich bewusst die eine oder andere Unzulänglichkeit in Kauf. Knarrende Dielen und antiquierte Haustechnik stören mich überhaupt nicht.
Es gibt jedoch Zustände die nicht sein müssten und die man ohne großen Aufwand abstellen könnte. Schmutzige Auslegeware, fleckige Wände, wackelige Armaturen, quietschende S
