Sebebi şunlar odaya ilk girdiğimde kirliydi yerde böcekler vardı, yatak örtüsü ve yorganda sarı sarı lekeler vardı hijyenik değildi, lavaboda ne bir sıvı sabun ne de bir tuvalet kâğıdı vardı bunları kendim gidip aldım ve orada bıraktım ki benden sonra girenler kullanabilsin. Oda çok küçük olduğu için boğucu bir havası var. Kısacası bir daha gider miyim bu eksiklikler giderilmediği sürece asla…"
