The description was pretty accurate and housemates seemed friendly. We desperately needed to wash our clothes for the first couple of days after having been on the road for a week but the washing line was full of other people's clothes that were dry but hadn't been taken down. We improvised and found some interesting places to hang our clothes though. Other housemates were a little loud and yelling during the mornings and evenings some days but nothing we couldn't tolerate. Overall still pretty impressive and lovely and clean. Awesome bathroom!!
