Good base - awful performance.
This could be a nice apt, prerequisites are there - good location, upper floor with a lift, high ceilings, bright bathroom. But then again nothing of these is enough when THERE'S NO:
- normal cooling and outside is 40 in shadow, night temperatures are 26C and it is hot. DO NOT go there in june-september period. And maybe do not go after October and before April, as there is no an adequate heating, at least from what I saw. There was so called portable cooler - does not cool at all, but is so noisy that makes you crazy. Obviously, not to use in the night. Its tube was falling all the time of the semi-opened window where it has been "installed". And the $cooler" was in the living room. I asked for a fan in the bedroom, received it on the third day and it stopped working on the forth.
- enough water pressure. The pressure in the shower is really weak. Not possible to take a normal douche, ladies with longer hairs - it's a test for your nerves.
- enough both natural light and illumination. It's dark, especially in the bedroom. Obviously, you can wide open the only window, but in fact you'd prefer not to because of the heat and noisy neighbours, and there's no central light on the ceiling in the bedroom, just a blinking reading lamp.
- working space; one can sit on the table in the living room or in the kitchen, not comfy, but it works. There was no adapter. I told the host I will be there to work, but when upon arrival asked them for an adapter they told me that when they are on a road they bring one with themselves. Suggested that I buy. Then suggested to refund me for it, but that offer has not been confirmed. Oh the bright side now I have an adapter, on the funny one I found that there WAS an adapter - on the so called cooler.
- TV channels to watch - well, there is a tv, but it was either not connected to any channels, or I could not find the way to start a working channel. I asked the host, did not receive any answer. In order to switch in the tv into the wall-plug though one should switch off the "cooler" - there's only one plug nearby. And the coller is anything but portable...
