"Appartement pas prêt à notre arrivée, pas nettoyé, linge de maison utilisé, cuisine rempli de cafards. Les cafards se promènent aussi abondamment dans les couloirs et salle à manger. Réfrigérateur dans un état lamentable. Si vous êtes allergiques à la poussière, évitez, quoique la pharmacie très proche est ouverte jusqu’à 22h00 et vend de la ventoline sans ordonnances. Expérience désolante pour la propreté et pour le prix et de bien meilleur appartement ailleurs. "
