About 10 years ago stayed at a private home in Gjyrokaster, Albania. A
dump, but pretty much clean enough.. the shower was a bunch of 2L
ex-soft-drink bottles lined up and filled with room-temperature water.
I think it was something like $5, and the old pensioner who lived in
the house practically kissed my feet when I paid him.
I think the worst place ever was a motel in the US near NYC (New
Rochelle). The nice Ramada was full, it was 4AM and nothing else was
nearby. They charged US 35 or 40, everything was both moist and dirty,
the mirror was cracked etc. Nice 180°F high-pressure water in the
shower however. Checked into the Ramada the next morning.
