Pros:

Thank you for the warm welcome. Thank for arranging a more private room for me, that was nice of you.
The place is clean and safe .

Cons:

However I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, yes people smoke from outside but because of space the smoke gets inside the house. For me thats not a pleasant smell as it triggers headache and tight chest.
Maybe if you can shift the smoke area to right at the corner under the carpot maybe that will be better. Also i would prefer the toilet to be private especially when youre sharing with other people but other than that all is we

Pros:

Λυπάμαι αλλα μόνο η τοποθεσία είναι καλή... τίποτα άλλο.

Cons:

Βρώμικα παλιά σεντόνια με λεκέδες, απο το κρεβάτι έλειπαν τάβλες και το στρώμα σχεδόν ανύπαρκτο, Δεν είχαν πετσέτες ούτε καν με χρέωση.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room is very small with the toilet and the shower in the same room. It's absolutely shocking. We did not sleep there and was compelled to look for other accomodation. What a waste of good money.

Cons:

The sharing of the bathroom
