The description is kind of misleading. The unit itself is nice and spacious, however, it is not entirely private! The description tells you that the laundry and the entrance are shared with other people, but it does not mention that the unit is open and everyone can hear what you are doing and talking about upstairs. It does not have a door either, so nothing prevents other guests from going there when you are not home. You can't lock it. If you want privacy, stay elsewhere.
