Strengths: Hosts very communicative, responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Check-in/out process totally hassle-free. Hosted on short notice-- very appreciated. Comfortable bed. Clean studio. Grocery store and restaurants nearby. Offered a "friends and family discount" for future stays.
Weaknesses: *Tiny* studio (max 250-300sq ft). Bathroom closes by a sliding/unsealed door (only clearly shown in the pictures if you think about the layout; I maybe wouldn't recommend for more than one person). Unfortunately heard every single footstep and word spoken from the apartment overhead. Fridge compressor makes loud noise every 30min (i.e. throughout the night). The "small oven" is actually a small countertop toaster oven. Expensive for what was offered (in my opinion).
Still don't regret staying :) Thank you for hosting!
