I stayed only one evening. The bed room, kitchen and common room are true to form. The place is artsy and cool. The building is very quaint and the door knobs were my favorite.
That said, it is a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest metro stop. If you leave the windows open - which you will want to to feel a breeze - There is a lot of street traffic noise and you can literally hear everything thing that goes on in the building- including in the shared bathroom. I understand that some of these features are beyond the control of the host (just how the building and neighborhoods is) i just am a light sleeper so I heard “everything.”
I never met Kaitlin, just saw an older gentleman in passing. He actually helped me out of the bathroom went I couldn’t get the antique door knob to open. Thank goodness he was there.
