Cockroaches! (Cucarachas!) 2 smashed: 1 by me in my bedroom & the other by Elba’s mom in our shared bathroom. Wear your slippers. (Lo siento Elba pero es lo que es [it is what it is] Recuerdas el photo del bicho?.) They don’t tell you that roaches are not uncommon when the temperature hits close to 95. (I saw a man with a tank (repellant?) on his back coming out of another apt on our floor.) I stayed 10 days & first 3 were tough. The ceiling fan was not strong enough to cool my sweat & the damp sheets . I asked for a standup fan thinking the overhead one was just bringing the heat down. Mom said something about an”orange” alert re power outages in the city though she ran her tv & electric toilet 24/7. (She also said kids can stick their fingers in a fan though no kids are there; Elba said she would consider it but ..?.) My choice: close window & try to sleep in the heat or leave window open & risk insects ( they keep a lot of plants on their porch next to the bath & bedroom windows -a place for the bugs to stay cool & protected? ) They may say there was food in my room -but I never ate in the room during the heat wave & anything opened was in the kitchen & refrigerador . (Regardless, mom keeps dog food & water out for little Pepe all day & all night) They might say why didn’t I just leave -well i would have but I already booked the room pre-bicho & the temperature was forecasted for cooler temps which occurred from day 4- to day 10, the day I left. After my request re need for floor fan, I rarely saw or had contact with Mom. Thought I lived alone . Not very friendly after that encounter. In fact when I was on the curb leaving for the airport I asked her to watch my luggage so I could go back into apt for the WiFi to check on the status of Uber , she refused to help & said something about taking a shower & would call the police if I didn’t give her the keys (which I needed to re-enter apt to use their WiFi). she told me to take my things across the street & use Starbucks WiFi. Very nice . Also, Night before leaving : Elba requested i leave apt “as found,” though they charge a cleaning fee . I only used 2 cups , a spoon and knife which I cleaned. after roach visit I used sweeper in room. she said I should dust & clean toilet. They would ( I guess do me a favor ) and mop. I’m surprised they didn’t give me the sheets to change the bed. Caramba! For sake of a balanced report : very good location near Diaz Blvd,; building secure with elevator ; room sufficient...
