I read the reviews before I booked so I was not surprised at all at how basic the accommodations were when I checked in. As previousluy reviewed by other, the bed was hard (not a problem for me) and noisy - a bit annoying but not a show stopper for me. The place is very, very basic but clean. Check in was great. If you are looking for 'perks', there aren't any. If you are happy with basic clean roof over your head, then this is your place. I would probably stay again for the same purpose as I went for this occasion. If I was on vacation, I probably would pick another place. I did not get to meet the hosts but I assume they are nice.
