absolute nightmare, very unsafe, basically a squat
This was the worse hotel/bnb experience of our lives and we've stayed in 100s of places. No one was there to greet us. We called and over the phone they told us to go in the house and find a room. The doors were open for anyone on the street to walk in. It was raining and water was coming in thru the open doors which we spent 15 minutes cleaning up. Then these unfriendly rough-looking guys showed up, day-laborers using this is a boarding house/squat. None of them were wearing masks and they were smoking cigarettes. They were rude to us and shut themselves in the kitchen so we couldn't access it. We texted the landlady and she did not respond. We tried to go to sleep but heard all sorts of different men coming and going, at 1 a.m., slamming doors and talking loud, and they all had terrible coughs. We were afraid to go out there because of covid exposure. Then at 5 a.m. they all got up and slammed doors and talked loud, we could smell cigarettes coming under door. We put a towel under the door and considered escaping out the window as we were afraid of exposure or confronting these men. We left before it even got light and when we told the landlady we were leaving and shouldn't have to pay, she told us it was the most "unpleasant" experience of her life, even though she was never there! We never saw anyone managing the place, all doors were open, we don't know who these men were, it was like it had turned into a squat for workers since the doors were open.
