mixed experience due to room issues

the location was convenient, right next to the tram and bus station.
the room was located in the attic. it was hot, exceeding 30 degrees. sleeping at night was nearly impossible with such temperature. the ac ventilator, positioned very close to the bed, blew air directly on me, so using it was not an option (i found this very inconvenient).
