I
stayed
from
September
2022
until
August
2023.
The
pros:
safer-ish
against
people
from
outside
thanks
to
a
system
registering
whoever
comes
in
and
out
compared
to
other
accommodations.
Some
people
from
the
welcome
desk
are
nice,
maintenance
is
quite
quick
to
fix
the
issues.
This
accommodation
is
decent
for
short
term
stays
and
people
who
don't
cook.
The
cons
made
it
an
overall
very
bad
experience
for
me,
to
a
point
that
I
would
not
recommend
Heyday
to
anyone.
Room
allocation
with
a
mix
of
long
term
and
short
term
residents,
the
propension
to
incriminate
residents
when
they
are
seeking
help
and
other
strange
behaviours
make
it
a
place
where
you
never
feel
comfortable
and
you
are
always
scared
something
might
happen.
In
more
details,
the
rooms
allocation
is
absurd,
as
it
often
mixes
long
term
students
with
language
school
students
in
one
apartment.
The
latter
can
stay
from
1
week
to
6
months,
so
you
never
know
who
you're
going
to
get.
As
a
result,
this
situation
results
in
thefts
and/or
degradation
of
collective
and
individual
property.
Nothing
is
done
by
Heyday
besides
a
promise
to
make
them
pay
a
fine
if
they
leave
the
kitchen
dirty,
which
was
never
applied
despite
2
complaints
from
me
(and
other
complaints
from
long-term
flatmates).
It
gets
worse
over
the
summer,
where
tourists
from
Booking
are
coming
for
a
few
nights
in
the
same
apartments
(and
of
course
no
one
was
warned).
Often
they
are
not
told,
like
the
language
school
students,
that
they
are
going
to
share
space
with
actual
students.
So
all
year
and
summer
long
I
had
to:
tour
the
kitchen
for
them
to
know
not
to
look
into
people's
personal
cupboards
or
help
themselves
in
it,
remind
that
not
everything
is
shared
and
that
cleaning
behind
themselves
is
a
basic
duty.
In
total,
I
caught
at
least
4
people
trying
to
take
people's
things,
one
of
them
became
threatening
when
I
said
not
to
use
my
things,
and
on
many
occasions
I
had
to
clean
behind
them
if
I
wanted
a
half
decent
space
to
cook.
It
also
makes
it
impossible
to
establish
a
collective
cleaning
routine,
collective
rules
and
use
of
the
space.
Feeling
like
I
was
living
in
a
dirty
hostel
is
not
a
nice
thing
to
do
when
rent
is
so
expensive.
To
this
day
I
still
don't
understand
how
they're
not
succeeding
at
renting
to
tourists
in
separate
apartments.
But
again,
their
management
is
absurd.
When
I
got
bowls
and
cups
stolen
(and
a
lot
of
other
things
displaced
and
found
in
other
people's
cupboard,
dirty...),
not
only
heyday
staff
was
unsupportive
and
didn't
help
or
didn't
really
try
to
retrieve
anything,
they
also
were
incriminating
our
attempts
at
not
having
our
tools
deteriorated
(one
of
my
flatmate's
and
my
perfectly
removable
labels
were
called
"unacceptable
vandalism"
and
we
were
told
not
to
claim
more
than
the
3
default
shelves
per
room
that
couldn't
fit
a
pan...
Even
if
most
of
the
other
collective
closets
were
empty
and
we
were
not
taking
anyone's
space!).
To
sum
up
they
were
stricter
against
our
use
of
the
space
we
pay
for
than
against
theft.
This
"it's
not
our
legal
responsibility
but
please
stop
trying
to
use
the
space"
was
very
frustrating.
Finally,
their
policy
of
'everyone's
equal'
is
completely
oblivious
of
the
fact
that
short
term
and
long
term
residents
will
have
different
needs
in
terms
of
space
and
tools.
Which
primes
short-term
residents
to
feel
entitled
to
use
any
belonging
they
want
to,
since
they're
often
leaving
before
anything
can
be
said
to
them.
It's
also
paying
for
everyone's
tablets,
dishwashing
soaps,
trash
bags
because
no
short-term
residents
will
ever
bother
(and
it's
not
provided
by
Heyday).
I
hope
other
residents
will
also
give
a
review
as
many
said
food
was
stolen
from
them
from
their
attributed
shelves
and
nothing
was
done
about
it.
They
have
no
issues
threatening
of
fines
for
lack
of
cleaning
(aka
If
you
decide
to
clean
after
yourself
only
and
not
others
who
have
left
already),
if
you're
having
someone
over
2
nights
you
pay
15e
per
night.
But
the
admin
fee
you
already
pay
does
not
mean
they
will
care
about
the
issues
their
poor
management
and
room
allocation.
