The kitchen was available and the couch area for tea drinking only and only for a few minutes . There are some strict rules that I wasn't used to experiencing at other Airbnb's so I would suggest this place for a short stay. I unfortunately was locked out during my stay during the winter. Transit is a 5 minute walk away but the bus usually takes about 15-30 minutes to arrive. My private room was in between two other rooms with washroom on the same floor. Host was sensitive to the smell of my pasta so I wouldn't recommend for anyone wanting to cook anything outside of eggs for breakfast or microwaveable foods.
