On our last day, there was a power failure that lasted an afternoon. It was totally out of Sophie's control, and even though it was somewhat frustrating for us - because the last day was precisely the one when we decided to rest a bit -, it wasn't *that* bad either, specially because it wasn't freezing. Regardless, she offered me a refund for this little problem. Honesty is probably not something you'll have to worry about over there.

The room is completely separate from the rest of the house, which means you probably won't be in touch with Sophie a lot. That can be a good or a bad thing depending on what you're looking for. I had only spoken to her in our first day and then on our last due to the power failure, when her whole family showed to be very, very nice and polite. Sophie's husband even offered us a ride to the airport, but we had to decline because it would be way too early for us.

I kinda enjoyed the location. It's not too close to the main attractions, but you can walk from there (we did) - and it's a good neighborhood, too.

Yes, there's a private bathroom; however, there's no door separating it from the bedroom - just a wall that doesn't reach the ceiling. I mean, you don't have a direct view into the toilet while standing in the bedroom, as the entrance is adjacent. So be sure you take someone whom you're very intimate with!

There could be more room as well. There's a large cabinet in the room but it's stuffed with the host's belongings, leaving only two shelves for the guests. It wasn't a big deal for me, but it could be if you're planning on staying for long.

You can't otherwise go wrong with this apartment if all you want is somewhere to crash and don't care for a kitchen. A good budget option in an expensive, expensive city.
