EEu.1. Honestly, it's perfect for a guy, as the beds aren't big and the bathroom doesn't have much space for women's supplies (for maintenance, cleaning, etc.). The environment isn't very safe, and most of my roommates are guys (some of them are quite strange and creepy!).
Some nights and early mornings, I see people who look like homeless people lining up at the front door!
Also, the room rates are relatively low for Americans, which makes it more likely to attract people of lower quality (we even had the police break into our house to arrest someone during our stay).
2. The soundproofing is extremely poor. Some roommates get up at 5 a.m. and use the kitchen quite loudly, while others don't go to bed until 3 a.m. and have doors slam loudly (even with earplugs). I can only say that most guys don't pay attention to detail. Since there are three floors, some roommates check out early, and the banging of their luggage from the third floor to the first floor... Yeah, it definitely wakes them up. On the other side of the wall was the ”neighboring building,” where I could hear luggage being stored, children crying, kicking things, and running around in the middle of the night. I could hear everything. It was a riot all night, and I didn't sleep at all. Although the landlord refunded one night and dealt with the situation, she wouldn't let me leave for several more nights. Later, someone else moved in next door, and the problem was exactly the same (luggage was thrown onto the wooden floor early in the morning, making such a loud noise that it could wake anyone up. I think we were the only ones who were careful with it). Furthermore, we could hear the man's voice clearly.
3. One thing I can't emphasize enough: if I had known the landlord was a ***, I wouldn't have moved in! I already knew their logic and values were so different. They were always friendly at first, but when you had to deal with repeated problems, they would become impatient (this includes the customer service manager they hired; the culture of interaction is the same). Their logic in communication was truly flawed! In short, they were incredibly self-righteous and believed they were right.
I couldn't sleep well for five consecutive nights, and I had to endure this kind of irritation. (For example, the towels they were supposed to prepare weren't, and they kept delaying it, with no apology!) There are so many other things I won't go into because the whole story would be too long.
4- Some of their so-called advanced technology is actually quite stupid, as it's all automatic and completely uncontrollable, which is incredibly inconvenient at times!
