Do not give them your passport details as I was stupid enough to do! This was the most scary place I’ve ever seen, and d
Pros:

It was the worst conditions I’ve ever seen- and I’ve traveled everywhere. The room was filthy, sheets thrown around, dirty sheets btw, and one towel thrown on the ground, and rubbish. As well as no way to lock the door. Anyone could come in if they know the code, which is everyone who stays there! Weird and strange people all around the building I ran out of there I felt very unsafe.
Dangerous area- do not stay here as a female. There was people drinking alcohol at 3pm outside the building.

Cons:

Unsafe, alcohol consumption mid day, dirty

À fuir à tout prix !
Cons:

Cet établissement est une véritable horreur: si on passe sur le manque de confort des lits (on sent chaque ressort parfaitement) et des coussins aussi fins qu’une feuille de papiers, rien est fait pour accueillir correctement les vacanciers. Certes il y a une cuisine, mais sans aucun équipement disponibles : il y a deux fourchettes seulements, les poêles sont dans un état désastreux (complètement cramées).

Le reste de l’appartement est particulièrement sale, avec une odeur terrible dans les toilettes.

Par ailleurs, il n’y a pas d’eau chaude dans la douche, ce qui est embêtant en Irlande, où il fait très froid même en été. L’eau était glaciale. Le propriétaire a été prévenu mais n’a rien fait.

De plus, il fait extrêmement chaud dans l’appartement à cause d’un déshumidificateur allumé en permanence (et particulièrement bruyant). On ne peut pas correctement ouvrir les fenêtres pour faire entrer de l’air frais.

All good
Pros:

Nkdy více.
Cons:

Špína, poškozený nábytek, žádné vybavení v kuchyni, prostě hrůza. V Čechách b si tohle nikdo nedovolil nabízet respektive by si to nikdo nepronajal.

The bunk bed was broken, the ladder to get in and the bottom of it. We also didn’t have towels.
