PODSHARE VENICE

Great!

They have an open room concept, meaning: you don’t sleep (for example) in a 6 bedroom with a door, because there are no doors. Everything is open and connected - all the beds, the living area, kitchen, bath and exit. So you hear noises all the time. Me and my boyfriend stayed for one night and didn’t get much sleep.

I especially didn’t like that the bathrooms weren’t separated from the sleeping area and not closed off. I’m the back, we’re we were sleeping, the sink was open to the room, the shower and the toilet had louvered doors, so you would hear everything (really everything) all the time, all night.

Although quiet time was supposed to be from 10pm to 10am, you couldn’t sleep longer than 7/8am as people were beginning to use the bathroom, which, again, you could hear. The exit door was opened early, too, so it got cold and someone from staff turned on the light and talked to some people very loudly.

Also, for the whole unit there were only 3 toilets (4 but one had no door at all) which wasn’t enough as people kept waiting or looking for a free bathroom.

Lastly I was a bit disappointed of the vibe. I am used to hostels being super welcoming and friendly. Here staff was friendly when asked something, otherwise seemed annoyed.

But: I have to say, the bathrooms were quite clean most of the time and I guess if you get a bed high up in the big room and not right to the hallway between bathroom, kitchen and beds, you might not have all these problems. And free parking was great.

Es un hostal cerca de Venice sin embargo no tienes privacidad, ya que las camas no tienen ni una cortina ni nada que los separe y esto es parte del concepto incluso si quieres poner una toalla o algo para tapar se encuentra prohibido, el internet es algo inestable el baño y las regaderas se encuentran en buenas condiciones puedes comprar tu comida y refrigerarla ahí. Hay una cocina en la que puedes calentar las 24 hrs del día, a partir de la 12 de la noche no puedes hacer ruido y apagan las luces y realmente se escucha todo entonces pues si alguien tose o hace ruido ya no podrás descansar bien, lo más relevante del lugar es que está como a unos 15 min caminando de Venice aunque la relación calidad precio es elevada, pero aún así será de lo mas barato que encuentres por la zona, y realmente dependerá mucho del tipo de viaje que estés realizando.

I attended a cool BBQ event here ????

This place was like finding water in a desert. Brilliant stay, good service, location was like excellent, the whole idea of shared living was amazing, met some nice people from all walks of life. It was very well maintained, basketball ball court if you want to flex, 10pm to 10am are quiet hours as they make sure people get some quiet time. Jerit and Dustin both did a fab job of taking good care of customers.
