"Escadas muito ingrimes e com degraus minúsculos, muito perigoso. Nos colocaram num quarto no último andar, o quarto muito pequeno e apertado, com barulho a tarde e noite inteiras pois é em cima de um bar. O banheiro era também muito apertado, com teto e chuveiro muito baixos, com odor péssimo de urina e sem contenção de água do banheiro para o quarto."
