I actually wasn't disappointed. For the price it was fine, for a shared bathroom and kitchen, it was as you would expect. The big issue that everyone who stayed there brought up was that you could hear everything, including your neighbours opening and closing their doors, using the bathroom and kitchen. For me, this was not much of an issue as I can usually sleep through anything. If you are a light sleeper, you might consider ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones.
It is a lovely, quiet neighbourhood and I would recommend it, but would add that if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs.
