The Chinese in this broken apartment B should stay away, otherwise they will be most angry when waiting to pay the most expensive rent. From the beginning of check-in, hot water was stopped in October and stopped intermittently for three or four times. The most frequently asked sentence in the group was "is there no hot water today". In the coldest winter, I will send you an email directly to tell you, "I'm sorry, I have to change the boiler. I haven't had any hot water recently, so I have to find a way to take a bath myself. As for when it will be repaired, it is not certain." We can only carry a change of clothes and go to different friends like a beggar on winter nights, then rush back to our home wrapped in down jackets, and when we get home, we sweat all over and take a bath in vain. Change the boiler, also is not over
