I trusted the many great reviews this place received. Let’s start with the pros… yes it’s right outside the train station, yes it’s in a cute quaint little town, yes the check in process was very well explained by the host. It was nice having access to the washer and dryer as well. The cons are basically everything else. FOR FEMALE GUESTS THAT PLAN TO STAY ALONE what I wish I knew was that there isn’t even a sink or toilet in the room and you have to go out to the common area to use the bathroom AND the shower is in a separate area with very little room to get ready. I just could not get myself to walk half dressed down the hall to my room. But the room was just horrid. The room was far from clean. As soon as you walk in you’re aggressively greeted with the smell of cigarettes and body odor. There was dust caked on to the walls, baseboards, and door frames. There was a half a centimeter crack between the door and the door frame where if anyone wanted to peek, they could easily see inside the room. The pillow case had stains so I take the pillow case off and I wanted to throw up when I saw the brown and blood spotted pillow inside. The bed was so uncomfortable I kept waking up every half hour or so because of body aches. Oh and to top it all off, the doorknob to my room was broken. I decided after one night of being there I couldn’t take it anymore so I checked out early. I understand that it was one of the cheapest options available and you could scold me on “you get what you pay for” but I did not expect it to be this bad. I know that moving forward I will definitely not go cheap.
I do want to add that when I contacted the host about the doorknob, she did come out to fix it 15 minutes after I had contacted her so I do appreciate that.
