I stayed here for four weeks in May. I would not recommend for long term stays
Few good things - room is a decent size you get your own fridge and lots of storage Space.
That’s where the good ends unfortunately.
The place is crawling with cockroaches and mice. And if you don’t see the mice you’ll certainly hear them.
The cleanliness is questionable. The bathroom is shared between all the people staying there and while they were good about keeping it clean, it was cleaned once in the four weeks I was there. And they didn’t replace the toilet paper so if the roll runs out, you might have to bring you own to the loo every time you go.
There is no way to control the temperature in the room. I was there in may and when it got super hot the room was so hot it was unbearable. I couldn’t sleep at night because of that heat. I can imagine it gets cold in the winter and even more hot in the summer. No fan was provided to me and there is no AC so beware of extreme temperatures .
For long term stays you need access to WiFi, you won’t get it here reliably. The WiFi didn’t work after a few days.
The kitchen cooker doesn’t always work either so if you need a cup of tea or to throw some dinner together, you might be out of luck.
The host didn’t give a damn that I was there at all. She didn’t check in on me once and only did so to ask when I was leaving haha. Now I don’t need coddling but when you have a guest staying for four weeks, I’d expect a little bit more hosting.
Lastly this is not about the place. If you are a lone female traveler, the area can get to you. There is a lot of catcalling and lurking around the streets. The house is right on the main road so there is not much you can do to avoid it. Luckily the subway is only seven minutes away from the house. However, if you plan on staying out late, get a friend to take you home. I had male friends walk me home if stayed out past 10/dark.
Overall terrible experience 2/10.
