single-glazed windows basement breakfast room
Let me tell you, the room I had was far from excellent. The street noise was horrendous due single-glazed windows. To add insult to injury, the breakfast room looked like a dungeon in the basement. My knees definitely protested that. I'm not sure if this place understand the meaning of peace.
