Frustrated & disappointed. This is not how you rent a room. I see the appeal of "Let's rent one of the rooms!! Easy extra money!!!" but mmmh, nope.
Pros:
- They are nice people.
- Lourdes helped me with early check in.
- Not a horrible place, close to Russafa's nice parts. Not on a nice street though, don't expect. It's very close to Russafa, but the vibe is different in Lourdes' street.
- Cleaniness is okay.
Cons:
- No hot water. Couldn't take a shower in the morning.
- Literally not much in the room. Not even a BIN. No bedside lamp.
- No hot water in the house. This was a huge joke. I had a teabag, wanted to make tea at night because I was super tired. They didn't have kettle (???). They also ran out of gas (???) and they tried to make tea to me from coffee machine by not putting capsule but just running water. Brownish, gross water. Couldn't drink. They did it in a nice bubbly cheerful way but cmon... You just can't do it if you rent one of your rooms!!!
- Room is noisy, close to a park or a school or sth like that, it feels like children are playing super close.
- I was only provided a suuuper light sheet. I kindly asked for a warmer stuff. They gave me a used duvet without a cover. Also a lot of flies at night. Bzzzzz.
- I was only given one single towel.
- They don't really speak English.
- You feel like someone who has to stay in that apartment as a guest, you know when you go to a relatives' house as a kid? That kind of a feeling. I didn't feel like someone who actually paid a nice amount to be there.
Wouldn't recommend. Just don't.
