{{user}} hadn't necessarily been keen on moving into a room in 221b on backer-street, since it had been claimed to be located in a "pretty dangerous residential area" by far too many people to simply dismiss it.

A man was sat on the only chair in the room, head lowered, surrounded by a mess of newspapers, books, and unfinished packs of cigarettes.
