James as a host is great and so was our communication.
To me, the place isn‘t worth the “rare find” hype, it’s average.
The location is decent, though you can find alternatives at the same level of furnishing (IKEA) at a similar price point. The lighting is questionable and
beware of the long list of house rules in place to avoid being discovered (the building doesn‘t allow AirBnB hosting). These rules also make for a rather complicated/elaborate check-in process when compared to keypads, lockboxes etc.
The worst thing to me however was the air conditioning units of the surrounding buildings right outside the window. They run 24/7 and make constant noise, much like on an aircraft during flight. So, I wouldn’t recommend the unit for a light sleeper.
It wasn’t a bad stay, but I have had more comfortable/convenient experiences before.
