I never met Catia.I met her husband and he was nice and polite.
Unfortunately, the place was not what I expected.
The place is a converted shed, there are a lot of cracks on the walls and the corners where the walls connect to the ceiling.At a corner you could even see sky and there was a draft.My partner is about 1.78m tall and he had trouble standing upright in the room.
The bathroom was very tinny. We are both slim (60kg and 80kg) but It was hard using the bathroom, especially the toilet, as everything was so, so close to each other. The shower was very small and the water collects on the floor up to your ankle.
The shampoo that should have been provided turned out to be heavily water diluted bits shampoo.
The provided hot plate did not make proper contact with the electrical network and it gave off sparks when it was initially plugged in.
The laundry machine that was there probably has rust inside, as I washed only whites and most of them came out pale yellow.
The internet network we had access to was terribly slow.
The sink took a lot of time to drain after you finished washing and it was set about 80cm from the floor so a person had to bend uncomfortably to wash.
The built-in wardrobe was extremely dusty and we couldn't even open it,as the bedside table is in the way of the door.
The table for eating is actually just a tiny piece of bar plot where you could hardly get 2 plates next too each other,no glasses or cutlery.
The crockery was left wet and it smelled strongly like mildew and mold in the whole place.
There are a lot of windows in the place,but none of them could be open.So the only ventilation available was by opening the front door. Also only 1 window had curtains and they were lace ones, which made it really uncomfortable once the lights were on.
The table&chairs in the garden were dirty and there was a heap of unwanted items on the bench next to the table.
The private gate we were assigned exited on a dirty,muddy lane.
In general though the neighborhood was ok.
