Bring "home shoes" i.e. slippers. And definitely bring rubber shower sandals so you don't get athletes feet like me. Room has no place to hang towel to dry, laundromat 2 blocks away is horrible. It's a really weird place to stay. Rooms in basement feel like catacombs. The stairs down to basement light switch is at top of stairs so last one down has to go down winding stairs in the dark to the catacombs. I do not recommend although place has been rented out for decades. Good luck.
