Chambre de Bonne

The lady who showed me my room was very warm and helpful.

Posizione, vicino a tutto, pace e tranquillità.

Un po troppo umido. E frigo da sistemare come temperatura. Letto da rivedere.

La proximité, le prix, la dame qui m’a accueilli

Wonderful host, offered good tourist advice. Location was excellent. Very low price compared to everything else in town but… So isolated in the building that I heard no noise at night.

Room very small, too damp, old. Room deep within the old basement of a large apartment building, a bit of a maze to locate the way back. Very isolated, deserted, a bit creepy. Toilet quite far down the hall, very dirty, no idea how many others used it. Dead roaches in the halls. Shower in the room with very small hot water tank so need to take a quick shower. Bed is very narrow, like a cot-absolutely for one person only. Though cheap in this, the most expensive city in the world, it still wasn’t a bargain. I suppose that it might be the only way one might be able to afford to visit but this is the most basic accommodation you may see. I could see that the hosts tried hard to make it comfortable with amenities but this old maid’s room remains that.
