This was a cultural experience. I brought bed sheets, towels, ear plugs and wore a mask my entire stay. This added some comfort to my experience. There are housemates and living room is not a shared space. Room was spacious enough to store my bike. Bathroom was dirty, grimmy with cockroaches. Sukumar caught COVID-19 towards the end of my stay. I was notified promptly and given a home self test. Sukumar began wearing a mask mainly over ears/chin and was unable to quarantine. I ended up getting COVID-19. You have to buy a 2$ card to use the washer/dryer (3.25$/load). you can only add money to the card in 5$ increments.
