You enter the building and upon opening the doors, you feel like it's a dungeon - dark and dirty bricks and the smell of "old" greets you. Two short flights of stairs takes you to the unit. Upon entering, there's bookshelves and laundry hanging dry. BEDROOM: The BR is very disappointing. It looks like a hodgepodge of things put together. It is evident that the owner rents out his second bedroom for the sake of extra income thereby using whatever existing & leftover furnitures he has for his guests. As an example, the lower half of the closet is filled with his shoe boxes. He has an industrial-looking steel shelf in front of the closet giving us very limited access to the closet - not even able to open the closet door fully. We had to put our things and luggage on the shelf. Again, two of these shelves are filled with his own books and magazines. The bed is one feet away from the steel shelf, leaving us with very little room to walk. A big square foam serves as a night table on the terrace side. What is more appalling is the muggy smell in the unit. It smells of clothes or linens which were not totally dried and kept inside the closet. The bed sheets, pillowcases and towels smell exactly like that. I am not sure if these were properly laundered at all. It's not surprising that I kept sneezing the first day I arrived. What added to this might be the lack of ventilation in the unit. This room has a veranda or terrace with a glass door that shuts out the noise, mosquitoes or rain. With this shut, there is no ventilation that flows inside. The ceiling of the unit is made of wooden trusses which probably account for the smell too. Looking up the ceiling, I can see cobwebs in the trusses. KITCHEN: We did not use the kitchen as we ate all three meals in restaurants. Windows in the kitchen were shut tight - no ventilation flow. BATHROOM: It is another disappointment. It is very small-sitting on the toilet, I am right on the edge of the sink. And next to the sink, is the square shower enclosure with shower curtains. Above the sink is a small ledge where we put our toothbrushes but basically cannot leave anything more. Above the mirror are three light bulbs with one busted and two bulbs so small its wattage is probably more fitting for Christmas lights. Having a very tiny glass window which was also blocked with his own toiletries on the inside ledge and a wooden window on the outside, sunshine and ventilation is blocked completely from this room. The attachment that locks the shower head in place is broken so that I cannot adjust the height of it. VIEW: There is absolutely no view from the kitchen, bathroom or the bedroom. The small veranda in our room looks down the alley and our neighbors.
