Do you really think so? " refrigerator filled with rotten items and crawling with maggots"

No much better compared to that, doesn't make it high end.

"room filled with rubbish – used sanitary pads, food waste, and even a refrigerator filled with rotten items and crawling with maggots." We got very different standards then.
