Was not aware that the host was running this place like a hostel. I expected to be sharing the accommodations with (potentially) the host, not 2-3+ additional guests. The room is also extremely noisy - noisy roommates (the other guests), noisy neighbours (upstairs), noisy pedestrians on the sidewalk and noisy traffic on the street. I barely slept at all while I stayed here. Noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs are a must. Also, the bedroom doors need a way to be locked from the inside. When there are other random people staying in close proximity to you, you don't want to have to worry about them coming into your room at night while you sleep. I was very uncomfortable with this arrangement. Simon simply needs to be more clear in his listing about what guests should expect. A complete English listing would help as well, of course. This being said, the place was clean and the location was good (though rather inconvenient if you have a car as you need to hunt for free street parking). If you know what you're getting into, this is a decent value for money.
