Il y a beaucoup trop de restrictions. La douche est limitée à 2mn seulement. On dors sur un petit matelas à même le sol. Faut pas allumer la lumière donc on dispose de lampions qui éclairent comme une bougie. Sinon Johannes est sympa a part cela. Il ne faut pas rester à l appart la journée donc partir tôt le matin et rentrer que le soir pour dormir. Les chambres ne ferment pas à clé.

It was a bad experience. The owner still got something against me and im was totaly quiet guy but in the end ok maybe he god bad mood every day so ok. But he owes me money until today. When you dont pay him in a second he was angry like a poisen dog. But when he owes me money and he tell get me tomorrow and i get them i remind him this thing but also after that nothing. It was 10 euros but still it was robbery for me! One positive this in that house was his friend claudio he was a good guy! If you dont have any choice and you need to make a decision sleep under the bridge or here ok but i think better paying more its a lot of opportunities here!

Johannes is een scharen we hebben samen een milkshake gedronken en een stuk pannekoek gegeten die hij klaargemaakt had. Het ligt 5 min van het centrum en hoewel de kamers basic zijn heb ik er goed geslapen. De prijs is dan ook niet duur. Ik was tevreden.
