DO NOT STAY HERE!
I came cross-country for the summer and prepaid for two months. Hadasa was out of the country when I arrived so her friend gave me the keys. The first thing I noticed were a ton of spiders in the bathtub. It was disgusting.
However, the biggest problem followed within minutes of entering the place. My body was covered in countless insects that were biting my skin. They stung and burned and I ran from the building immediately to escape the infestation. As I was leaving, I realized that (even with the front door completely closed), there is a gap between the door and the doorframe that could fit a wild animal and I wonder if this is how the bugs entered the unit.
I contacted Hadasa and shared approximately 20 photographs of these bugs crawling my skin. She never even responded. Based on her reaction, I can only conclude that she knew about the bugs in advance. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she have asked me for more information or relay her concern for my well being?
It has been more than two weeks since I left the unit, an I am still covered in bites that burn and itch every second of the day and night. I can barely sleep at night. The bites were so bad, I had to go to the emergency room a few days ago. Furthermore, this situation left me without a place to live and I had to pay a fortune in hotel rooms before finally finding another place. Needless to say, I lost much more money than I would have had Hadasa told me about the bugs from the beginning.
To reiterate, do not stay here. You truly would be better off sleeping on a park bench.
