Here are my thoughts on Albert’s place:
Pros:
1. Well-equipped kitchen
2. Clean environment
3. Easy check-in/out
Cons:
1. Only 1 bathroom for 5 rooms
2. Locks on doors not secure
3. Rough neighborhood
4. Unhelpful and unresponsive host
I didn’t feel like a welcomed guest at Albert’s. Check in was a little odd and the person who handed me the key differed from my point of contact (Albert). I didn’t receive much communication from Albert throughout my stay and his response time was fairly slow.
I was given a room that differed from the one that was advertised. The locks on the doors were unlockable with a fingernail and locks were instead provided for a closet in the room (so if you’d like to secure anything, lock it in the closet). There were many ‘rules’ signs posted all over the place (many of which were reasonable; some unnecessary), though it made the environment feel a bit uncomfortable and unwelcoming.
This was an OK place to stay; I think there are better alternatives.
