Freezing. They don't turn on the heat in the house. The windows in the room are covered over so you cannot see out. There is no mirror in the bedroom, and no comfortable chair. So if you are in the room, you are in the bed. The bed is comfortable. I asked and received a big heater for the room. You must remove your shoes at the front door and walk up 20+ slippery stairs (no carpeting) to the room. The children's family room is just outside the room, and they sit there paying video games until they go to bed. The "shared" bathroom is their laundry room, and they are constantly doing laundry and hanging it over the rails. The water at the sink in the bathroom never gets even warm. (In 17n days it got warm once.) The shower gets warm eventually and the bathroom floor is heated, and they have a heated towel rack that you can plug in. You cannot use the heater at the same time you blow-dry your hair or all plugs in both the bathroom and the bedroom blow. Someone else uses the bathroom from 10-11pm every night, so you need to plan your last trip to bathroom before or after her visit. The man of the house sits in the kitchen in a winter coat with a wool headband while he has his tea. Really uncomfortably cold. The Mei's were quite pleasant and chatted at me while I removed my shoes or put them on.
