Señor amable

Muy aislado en una casa algo lejos del transporte. El dormitorio de varias literas pequeño y sin intimidad, sin cortinas, etc. Limpieza pobre en aseos

Leaving

Where do I even start. The entire house is disgusting, the only "clean" area is where the footpath has been rubbed clean by walking on it. The bathroom was incredibly dirty, the old tub had been boarded off because its covered in a thick layer of black mold. The washer is tiny and frankly i wish i didnt have to use it but i had no clean clothes so i bit that bullet. The owner wouldnt allow us to play any music on the terrace. (off a phone, so it wasnt a loud speaker) he would enter the room without knocking whenever he pleased, at one point when he was doing that I saw him lean right over (a couple inches away from his face) one of the other guest to check if he was sleeping i guess. When I flipped my mattress up I found crusted snot wiped on them. The sheets and blanket felt sticky and gross, the a/c i bet was full of mold too as I woke up with a sore throat and congested nose. When it was just my friend and I in the room at 10 he comes in and tells us its lights out (an hour before stated on the listing) and wouldnt listen to us when we said it was only us in the room so we didnt want to turn them off yet. He has his rules written on tape everywhere you look. the kitchen area and provided plates/cutlery were also disgusting. In the morning he lets himself in again with no knock, looked around then walked over to our bathroom and vomited on the floor, then he grabs one the towels he will rent you (you have to pay to wash them yourself in his gross washing machine) and poorly wipes it off the floor. This is not a hostel, this is a crazy old dude who slammed as many bunks in the tiny upstairs rooms as he could and that was the last bit of work he put into it. My friend and I had booked two nights, but after we were awake we just packed up and snuck out. Sometimes when somethings this cheap theres a very good reason! All of the rooms were either AI brushed up or the photos had been taken years ago.

Proche de station de métro pour rejoindre le centre de Tokyo. Situé à quelques minutes de plusieurs restaurants. Quartier calme
