I have never had such a bad stay as here.
If you expect a place with thousands rules and a host always watching your every step
and blaming you for everything you do, this is a place to stay. The host is a rude and unpolite guy, he tries to pretend not to be one, but he is. People who stay just for 1 day would usually not notice all these things, but if you will get into any unusual situation, here is where the problems will come and your stay will be a nightmare.
So here is a list of everything what went bad.
1)If you are late after 10pm, expect a host to be very aggressive and unpolite. We have notified that we have no internet and will try to come in time, but metro was working really bad in NYC, so we got late by 30 minutes, because had to change the trains. He was texting us by usual SMS multiple times, rushing us that we should not be late otherwise we would pay 20$ and writing rude words that this is unpolite not to answer. (lol SMS back would cost us like 5$). When we arrived we said sorry, but he would still be angry and never say any excuse because of his behaviour.
2) In rules it is said that you are not allowed to use kitchen after 8.30pm. But host himself would be quite loud using a kitchen and watching TV even after 10pm.
3)If you don’t use a back door, but a front door because you’ve been staying and waiting for him for 10 minutes, this guy would also get angry, because now he has to deal with his landlord and neighboors. Is it really a problem of the guests? We did our best to get inside, and when we couldn’t we used a front door. Then we listened to much swearing from him.
4)Expect 1 bathroom for 6 people.
5)His mom is always there, and you will always cross her studio room when you go in/out or use a kitchen. Expect her to call her son if you start using kitchen saying that you will explode everything with a gas oven. (Even though it is said that kitchen is allowed and we have gas oven in our country and know how to use it).
6)He would tell you 10 times how you should be extremely quiet, never walk, and never talk in voice. That you should act like you don’t exist. Because upstairs is his landlord, and downstairs are children and there is no sound isolation.
7)The only place where you would find a trash can is kitchen. Not even a restroom. But you are not allowed to use a kitchen after 8.30pm.
8)Do not ever be late even for 5 minutes, otherwise he would charge you 20$. Here is a good point, he was rushing us and blackmail us that he would charge us, but then suddenly he didn’t. What happened after he would use this fact as a proof of his gracefulness and accuse us of being so bad and him so good.
9)You will not find a single lock on your private room. But you will find a 24h surveillance camera watching you in the hall. I’d better have a lock on my room and feel really safe that host or other guests don’t come inside, than have a 24h camera through which he is watching you.
10)One time we used plates in the kitchen, and while eating his mother approached us and said “you should clean this!”, she doesn’t speak English, so this sounded very strange and aggressive. Like we didn’t know we should clean after ourselves. But later we found dished left by her in the sink which were unclean. What a hypocrisy!
11)The condition of the room is also bad. It is quite clean, but all the furniture is old, it is not cozy at all. The back side of the bed is broken, and the mosquito net is broken, so we had some mosquito in the night.
12)Bad internet, it would disconnect every minute. This was happening on multiple devices.
