It felt like I was a teenager and the parents live on the other side of the house, with a small screen to partion "my area" off and no lock on a door that is not sealed properly. If you want discretion and privacy, I suggest look elsewhere. The mattress was old and lumpy and every night there were some disturbances that amplified my lack of sleep. I felt the room was cold and dark and I wasn't comfortable crossing over (past the partition) to their kitchen space just to use the microwave. There were no washing up facilities. I think the location is great but it's very over priced for what you actually endure!
