poor sound isolation weak wifi

The noise was really disruptive. i could hear everything happening in the courtyard from my fourth-floor room. the windows didn't block any sound, it was like they were open (i hate that!). i also found too many mosquitoes in the room. the wifi signal was so weak. It barely worked (that was annoying).
