Reeplace the Shower Head please.
The shower head was in a very bad condition. $50 spent at Bunnings to replace it would be a simple solution

Definitely the biggest bang for your buck, not much more than a bed in a hostel, definitely one and a half or two times the price, not too bad. It’s definitely nothing special so don’t get your expectations up, but it’s nice to have your own space and air conditioning.
