The idea of “Space Homes” is a fun, but the reality of staying in one at Markus’s place can be problematic.
We were stuck below an amazingly rude and insensitive couple in the pod above us. They talked and laughed loudly, shifted and made noise, and kept this up until after 2:00am. Even after we asked them to quiet down, they would stop for ten minutes or so, but then go back to making noise.
Since there was no official person on-site to handle these kinds of incidences, we were stuck.
Also, the pods are not light-proof, so whenever someone got up to use a toilet in the night or someone arrived late, motion sensitive lighting lit up the whole place and infiltrated the space pods. So bring a sleep mask and ear plugs!
The check-in instructions should probably include that the front door opens inward. We heard several guests struggling to access the faculty during the night and all of them seemed to have trouble figuring out how to open the door.
The facility was new and spotlessly clean, which was great. The location is fantastic and the bed was very comfortable. The television and earphones in the pod were excellent.
