The Hipstel Parallel

The disadvantages are that the neighbors are very audible and when they are walking in their room, you get the impression that they are walking outside your door. The front door was very thin, the same as between the rooms or bathroom. There are windows in the room, but they are of no use because all you can see through them is the stone wall of the house opposite. The towel is one big towel per person, I think they could add an extra small one for washing. With an electric kettle and we did not manage to figure out, and the state of it was such that it is better not to heat water there. We had to use an electric stove. But the biggest minus is the cockroaches, they are everywhere in the kitchen, sometimes in the bathroom. The first time we opened the fork drawer and were surprised. The next day they were crawling all over the table, sink, floor. We came back every time and wondered where they could still be. We had to hide the food and the only salvation was the refrigerator, where the cockroaches could not reach.

The position of the windows was very bad. Even with bright sunlight, you will not have a clue about how sunny it is outside.

First of all the location of this studio is different than the location mentioned while booking. It turned out to be in a really shady district so you couldn’t really go out or come home at dark. That’s unfortunate because you choose where to stay based on your location preferences. The studio itself wasn’t really clean, the floor was dirty and there were dirt spots on the carpet and sofa. There was an awful smell, which we couldn’t even get rid of, maybe because the studio is actually situated in a basement and the window wouldn’t open. Even if it did open it wouldn’t still be okay because of the really shady and scary district the studio is in. There were cockroaches crawling on the tables and walls also. The mattress on the bed was so old and overused that you couldn’t sleep normally and you couldn’t even turn around because of the holes in it. The “bathroom” as it’s called was so tiny you couldn’t even turn around and because of the basement situation there was a really loud pump responsible for water draining which wasn’t really doing well as you have to stop the water while showering every 1 minute or it will spill into the kitchen. And after literally having to run home every night being chased by the homeless people living in the same street I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!
