Hostel amazement

Truly I've been blessed by the hostel gods. The first hostel I stayed at in Barcelona amazed me. Right on the beach, only €21, walking distance to allthe sights, clean rooms, only 7 beds to a room with a private bath for the room, laundry (not free, but not any more expensive than laundromats around here), and free wifi. Other than they forgot to turn on the a/c so it got swelteringly hot in there, and the fact that there was a theif about (though I kept my stuff locked to keep from getting it stolen), I thought it was the nicest we'd ever find. I was leery of hostels, as I've never been in any before.

But I was, indeed, wrong! The next hostel we have come to (where we are now) is called Villa St Exbury in Nice, France.




It's a bit further from the beach, but they offer free shuttle rides to and from the tram stop, it's cheaper, have super-nice rooms, a seperate girls' dorm (which I walked into by accident--they should really put up a warning sign), a bar with €1 local beer and wine,







free breakfast (12 kinds of cereal + French breads w/ spreads) and a cheap (yet delicious) restaurant for dinner.





If things continue getting better with every hostel we stay at, pretty soon we'll be staying in a three-bedroom suite for €7 per night!
