The host was very welcoming and had lots of recommendations for the city and the flat was beautifully decorated and clean. Check-in was easy and flexible and we were allowed to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked-out.
However, it was not clear from the description that the basement flat didn’t have its own entrance. The shared entrance was very small and it was pilled high with cat food which wasn’t pleasant. Another couple downsides this were the lack of privacy and that the AC is controlled from the main part of the house which means the basement can get very hot and the windows are tiny so fresh air circulation is limited. There was no way to turn the AC on without having to message the host. The ceilings are very low particularly around the kitchen where the ceiling drops down very low so when cooking or turning the lights off you need to be careful...I had a few bad bumps to the head! In addition, the patio was not well kept and was very cluttered.
